Mixtures on separation can give ____________.

  1. elements

  2. compounds

  3. both elements and compounds

  4. impure substances


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Mixtures can be obtained by a combination of elements and compounds. Thus when they are separated, it can give both elements and compounds, depending upon the constituents of a mixture.
Example: Air is the mixture of various gases. It on separation gives oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc. 

The amountof $H _2S$ required to precipitate $1.69$g $BaS$ from $BaCl _2$ solution is : 

  1. $3.4g$

  2. $0.24g$

  3. $0.34g$

  4. $0.17g$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$BaCl _2+H _2S\longrightarrow BaS+2HCl$
                                  $1.69$ $g$
For $1$ $mole$ of $H _2S$ produce $1$ $mole$ of $BaS$
So, $1$ $mole$ $H _2S\longrightarrow 1$ $mole$ $BaS$
            $34$ $g$                      $169$ $g$
                      $(x)\longleftarrow 1.69$ $g$
$\implies x=\cfrac {1.69\times 34}{169}=0.34$ $g$
Amount of $H _2S$ needed $=0.34$ $g$

$3$ litre of mixture of propane $(C {3}H _{8})$ $ butane $(C{4}H_{10})$ on complete combustion gives $10$ litre $CO_{2}$. Find the composition of mixture.

  1. $C _{3}H _{8}2L$ and $C _{4}H _{10}\ 1L$

  2. $C _{3}H _{8}3L$ and $C _{4}H _{10}\ 0L$

  3. $C _{3}H _{8}\ 1.5L$ and $C _{4}H _{10}\ 1.5L$

  4. $C _{3}H _{8}\ 0L$ and $C _{4}H _{10}\ 3L$


Correct Option: A

An aqueous solution containing $1g$ of urea boils at $100.25^ {o}C$. The aqueous solution containing $3g$ of glucose in the same volume will boil at-

  1. $100.75^ {o}C$

  2. $100.5^ {o}C$

  3. $100^ {o}C$

  4. $100.25^ {o}C$


Correct Option: D

Mixture is a physical combination of two or more pure substances.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Mixture, a physical combination of two or more pure substances. A mixture is distinguished from a compound, which is formed by the chemical combination of two or more pure substances in a fixed, definite proportion. 

It should be noted that the components of a mixture retain their own chemical properties and may be present in any proportion.

Gunpowder is an example of a__________.

  1. compound

  2. mixture

  3. element

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Gunpowder is an explosive mixture of potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulphur in ratio 75 : 15: 10 used in time fuses, blasting and fireworks. 
It is obtained by mixing compounds so it is not a compound or an element.

Example of liquid-gas mixture is :

  1. fog

  2. smoke

  3. muddy water

  4. milk


Correct Option: A

A true solution (or simply a solution) is a homogeneous mixture, in which the solute and solvent molecules cannot be distinguished even under a microscope.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A true solution (or simply a solution) is a homogeneous mixture, i.e., in a true solution, the solute and solvent molecules cannot be distinguished even under a microscope because the size of the particle is very small.

Example of liquid-liquid mixture is :

  1. oil in water

  2. muddy water

  3. smoke

  4. steel


Correct Option: A

Which among the following statement(s) is/are true?

  1. Brass is an element

  2. Dry ice is a mixture

  3. Aerated drink, e.g., coca cola is a mixture

  4. Diesel is a mixture


Correct Option: C,D
Explanation:

A ) Brass is an alloy made of copper and zinc.
B) Dry ice, sometimes referred to as "cardice" (chiefly British chemists), is the solid form of carbon dioxide, so it is a compound.
C) Aerated drink would be anything that would have fizz (gas) filled in it. For example, your pepsi, coke, thums up, mirinda etc.
D) Diesel is mixture of many hydrocarbons.
Options C & D are correct.
