 Sublimation is a technique that helps chemists to:

  1. break

  2. purify

  3. melt

  4. freeze


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sublimation is a technique that helps chemists to purify. During sublimation, upon heating, a solid substance is converted to the gas phase without passing through the liquid phase.  A solid is heated under vacuum. The solid volatilizes and condenses as a purified compound on a cooled surface, a non-volatile residue of impurities is left behind.

Sublimation requires additional energy and is an:

  1. endothermic change

  2. exothermic change

  3. both a and b

  4. none of above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sublimation is the process of transferring molecules in the solid phase to the gaseous phase. Since liquid state is skipped in this process, a large amount of energy has to be supplied in order to provide the required molecular motion to the molecules. Hence it is an endothermic change

Solid which undergoes sublimation is :

  1. argon

  2. iodine

  3. sodium chloride

  4. water

solids undergo sublimation at low pressures (under vacuum). At standard, atmospheric pressure, a few solids which will sublime are iodine (at slightly higher than room temperature),

Statement I: Evaporation is an endothermic process.
Statement II: Heat is absorbed as a substance cools.

  1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.

  2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct, but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I. 

  3. Statement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect.

  4. Statement I is incorrect, but Statement II is correct.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Option C is the correct answer.

Evaporation is an endothermic process. Because, evaporation requires heat. When heat is given into the system, evaporation from the system occurs.
When a substance cools down, it gives off heat in its surrounding. Thus, heat is not absorbed, rather heat is given out into the surrounding for the substance to cool.

Ammonium chloride is separated from a mixture of sodium chloride and ammonium chloride by the process of _____________.

  1. Crystallization

  2. Filtration

  3. Sublimation

  4. All of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

There are way in separating mixtures of chloride salts such as that of sodium chloride and ammonium chloride. It can be done by crystallization, filtration, and sublimation. The easiest method among the three is separation by sublimation.  Ammonium chloride sublimes upon heating. Actually, the sublimation is a decomposition of ammonium chloride forming ammonia and hydrogen chloride. Sodium chloride, on the other hand, doesn't sublime and has a higher melting point than ammonium chloride. If we want to separate the mixture, we have to heat up to 330-350 degrees Celsius and collect the gas that will be produced. 

Hence, the correct option is D.

  1. Filtration

  2. Sublimation

  3. Dissolution and evaporation

  4. Distillation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The mixture of camphor and ammonium chloride cannot be separated by sublimation method since both are volatile substances. Thus the mixture is dissolved in water. Ammonium chloride is soluble in water while camphor is not thus the water containing ammonium chloride is decanted in another beaker. Thus camphor is obtained and now the solution is evaporated to separate ammonium chloride. The solution containing ammonium chloride is heated and boiled off the ammonium chloride is left behind

By which method can ammonium chloride be separated from sand?

  1. By hand picking

  2. By filtration

  3. By sublimation

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sublimation is used to separate a mixture of sand and ammonium chloride. Sublimation is a separation process that entails heating a mixture of solids, where one of the solids transitions from solid to gas without passing through the liquid state. The vaporized solid is then reclaimed by cooling the vapor which reverts back to its initial solid state.

In the case of ammonium chloride and sand, ammonium chloride is the sublimate and changes to vapor

The mixture of X and Y were taken in a condenser flask and were then heated. After keepint it for cooling, crystals of Y were found on the walls of the flask and X was present as such at the bottom of flask. Identify X and Y:

  1. $X= NaCl, Y= KCl$

  2. $X= Anthracene, Y=Naphthalene$

  3. $X=NaCl, Y= Naphthalene$

  4. $X=Anthracene, Y=NaCl$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Since crystals of $Y$ were formed on the walls of flask hence it must be some compound which sublimates on heating, and there was no effect on the $X$ so $X$ must be compound with high boiling point. The only combination with these properties are $X=NaCl$, $Y=Naphthalene$

Evaporation of solution of $CuSO _4$ helps in:

  1. making it more concentrated

  2. crystallization of $CuSO _4$

  3. evaporation of salt $CuSO _4$

  4. both $A$ and $B$

On evaporation of $CuSO _4$ solution, the amount of solvent will decrease and its concentration increases and it will leads to the crystallization of $CuSO _4$.

Compounds evaporating easily and giving off a smell are:

  1. ionic compounds.

  2. covalent bonds.

  3. metallic bonds.

  4. diatic bonds.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Odour is the result of the compound vaporising, or at least being a gas, so that your olfactory system is capable of detecting it. If a compound is not so volatile that it vaporises at room temperature, it will not give off an odour.Compounds like methane, benzene etc. that possess covalent bonds are volatile at room temperature hence, gives off smell.

When heating begins in miscible solutions, vapors formed will be:

  1. of liquid lower in boiling point

  2. of liquid higher in boiling point

  3. vapors will be of both liquids with a higher concentration of liquid having low boiling point

  4. collected in a gas syring


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A distinct layer between two liquids will not form when you have a solution that is labelled miscible. A liquid is considered miscible if it can mix with another miscible liquid to form a homogeneous mixture. When heating begins in miscible solutions, vapours will be of both liquids (as miscible solution will give homogeneous mixture in vapour phase as well) with a higher concentration of liquid having low boiling point (since that component will be more volatile in nature).

Which of the following is a seperation technique to seperate potassium chloride and ammonium chloride?

  1. Distillation

  2. Evaporation

  3. Condensation

  4. Sublimation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium chloride can be separated using the process of sublimation. You must also note that both these substances are sublimable. This technique is quite feasible in this case as the sublimable temperatures of ammonium and potassium chloride differ widely. Between the two, ammonium chloride has lower sublimable temperature. Therefore, it sublimes first followed by potassium chloride.
