Tap water is:

  1. compound

  2. a mixture

  3. an element

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Tap water is not the pure form of water, it contains a large number of salts, elements, bacteria and other impurities,

so, tap water is considered as a mixture.

Identify the mixture from the following:

  1. Oxygen

  2. Carbon dioxide

  3. Hydrogen

  4. Air


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The mixture consists of constituents in indefinite proportion. It may change over time. Air has 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen and 1% other constituents such as $CO _2$, water vapour etc. About 100 years ago the proportion of $CO _2$ in the air was about 0.029% and now it is 0.035%. Thus we see that it's proportion has changed.

Which of the following is a mixture?

  1. Water

  2. Oxygen

  3. Carbon dioxide

  4. Air


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A mixture consists of constituents in indefinite proportion. It may change over time. Air has 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen and 1% other constituents such as CO2, water vapour etc. About 100 years ago proportion of CO2 in air was about 0.029% and now it is 0.035%. Thus we see that it's proportion has changed. Therefore, air is a mixture.

  1. Solution of salt in water

  2. Air

  3. Alloy

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Solution of salt in water, air, alloy are all examples of homogeneous mixture. They are formed by mixing different elements in to form a mixture which is in single state. Hence they are also called as homogeneous mixture.

What is a mixture?

  1. Substance with two or more different particles

  2. Substance that is insoluble

  3. Substance with a single homogenous particle

  4. None of above

  4. None of above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Air is a homogeneous mixture. However, the Earth's atmosphere as a whole is a heterogeneous mixture. Alloys are made when two or more metals are mixed together. They usually are homogeneous mixtures. Examples include brass, bronze, steel, and sterling silver.

In a mixture of kerosene and water, kerosene forms the:

  1. Lower layer

  2. Upper layer

  3. It mixes with water and forms no layer

  4. Data insufficient


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When two liquids do not mix, they form two separate layers and are known as immiscible liquids. These two liquids can be separated by using a separating funnel. It will separate the immiscible liquids into two distinct layers depending on their densities. The heavier liquid forms the lower layer while the lighter one forms the upper layer. Kerosene has lower density than water and hence forms the upper layer.

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 $=0.34$ $g$

Crystallization is also a chemical solid-liquid separation technique, in which mass transfer of a solute from the liquid solution to a pure solid crystalline phase occurs.
Pure copper sulphate from an impure sample.
Distillation is a process of separating the component substances from a liquid mixture by selective evaporation and condensation. Distillation may result in essentially complete separation (nearly pure components), or it may be a partial separation that increases the concentration of selected components of the mixture.
A separating funnel is a glass funnel with a tap at the bottom. A separating funnel is a separation technique that is used for two liquids that do not dissolve in each other.

Which of the following statement is incorrect about mixtures?

  1. A mixture contains two or more substances

  2. Particles in mixtures are of more than one kind

  3. Compounds or elements in a mixture is mixed in any proportion by mass

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A mixture is a combination of two or more materials, compounds or elements where there is no chemical combination or reaction.

Here materials can be anything for example: compounds, elements etc.

Statement (1): Mixture is a chemical combination of two or more elements.
Statement (2): Properties of the constituents of a mixture remain same.

  1. Statement I is true and Statement II is false

  2. Both statement I and II are true and II is not a correct explanation of statement I

  3. Both statement I and II are false

  4. Statement I is false and Statement II is true

  5. Both statement I and II are true and II is a correct explanation of statement I


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The mixture is a combination of two or more elements in such a way that no chemical reaction occurs. So, a mixture is a physical combination of two or more elements.

Properties of the constituents of a mixture remain same. The mixture can be separated back into its original constituents.
So statement 1 is incorrect and statement 2 is correct.
So D) is the correct answer.

Choose the correct statement from the following.

  1. Liquor ammonia and soda water are examples of liquid-gas type mixtures.

  2. Mixture of coconut oil and water can be separated using separating funnel.

  3. A mixture of iodine and sulphur can be separated using magnetic separation.

  4. A mixture of sand and sawdust can be separated using solvent extraction.


Correct Option: A,B
Explanation:

Liquor ammonia is a concentrated solution of ammonia in water due to which, it forms a liquid-gas mixture with soda water(carbon dioxide gas under pressure)


Since coconut oil and water have different densities, they can be separated from each other by using a separating funnel

Since none among iodine and sulphur have magnetic properties, they cannot be separated using magnetic separation

Both sand and sawdust are highly insoluble in all the solvents and they cannot be separated using solvent extraction method

Mixture can be separated, and kind of separation method depends on kind of:

  1. mixure it is

  2. solution it is

  3. molecule it is

  4. compound it is


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In chemistry, a mixture is a material system made up of two or more different substances which are mixed but are not combined chemically. A mixture refers to the physical combination of two or more substances in which the identities are retained and are mixed in the form of solutions, suspensions, and colloids.

The individual substances in a mixture can be separated using different methods, depending on the type of mixture. These methods include filtration, evaporation, distillation and chromatography.

A substance formed when two or more elements are mixed together without chemical reaction is known as:

  1. atom

  2. mixure

  3. molecule

  4. compound


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In chemistry, a mixture is a material system made up of two or more different substances which are mixed but are not combined chemically. A mixture refers to the physical combination of two or more substances in which the identities are retained and are mixed in the form of solutions, suspensions, and colloids.

When a gas dissolves in liquid, there is decrease in volume thus:
  1. increase of pressure will favour the dissolution of gas in liquid

  2. increase of pressure will not favour the dissolution of gas in liquid

  3. increase of pressure has no affect on the dissolution of gas in liquid

  4. increase of temperature will favour the dissolution of gas in liquid


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
When a gas dissolves in liquid, there is decrease in volume thus increase of pressure will favour the dissolution of gas in liquid. Initially total volume decreases, the pressure decreases. Now when pressure is increased, the system will shift in a direction that will decrease the pressure to nullify the effect of increase in pressure. This is through the dissolution of gas in liquid. This is similar to Le-chatellier's principle for chemical equilibrium.
Note:
Decrease of temperature will favour the dissolution of gas in liquid.
