Multiple choice chemistry basic analytical techniques partition coefficients solvent extraction separation methods

Which of the following is the seperation technique to seperate mercury and water?

  1. Seperating funnel

  2. Sublimation

  3. Filteration followed by evaporation

  4. Seperating funnel followed by evaporation or distillation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

We can separate them using separating funnel because the two are immiscible and mercury is denser than water.

If the constituents of a solid-liquid mixture have different masses, then we can separate them using:

  1. sublimation

  2. centrifugation

  3. winnowing

  4. evaporation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Centrifugation is a technique which involves the application of centrifugal force to separate particles from a solution. The larger the size and the larger the density of the particles, the faster they separate from the mixture. Example- washing machine works on the principle of centrifugation.

Which of the following can be used for Solid-Solid mixture separation?

  1. Mechanical separation

  2. Magnetic separation

  3. Gravity separation

  4. All of above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Solid-solid mixtures can be separated using various physical methods depending on the properties of the components, such as mechanical picking, magnetic properties, or density differences (gravity).

Water is said to be permanently hard when it contains:

  1. chloride and sulphates of Mg and Ca

  2. bicarbonate of Na and K

  3. carbonate of Na and K

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Permanent hardness in water is caused by the presence of dissolved chlorides and sulfates of calcium and magnesium, which cannot be removed by boiling.

_____ is a method of separating suspended particles of a substance from liquid.

  1. Chromatography

  2. Centrifugation

  3. Distillation

  4. Magnetic separation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Centrifugation is a method of separating suspended particles of a substance from liquid.

Centripetal force is applied with a centrifuge to sediment heterogeneous mixtures. It is used in industrial and laboratory settings. It is used in the separation of  two immiscible substances.
