A chalk which is settled at the bottom of a beaker filled with water can be separated from the water by ________ and __. The chalk can then be dried by ___. (a) sedimentation and crystallisation; condensation (b) decantation and filtration, evaporation (c) filtration and evaporation; crystallisation

  1. Only (a)

  2. Only (b)

  3. Only (b) and (c)

  4. Only (c)


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Some chalk powder settled at the bottom of a beaker filled with water can be separated from water by decantation and filtration. The chalk powder can then be dried out by evaporation. 

Which of the following substances is/are not sublimable?

  1. Dry ice

  2. Carbon

  3. Naphthalene balls

  4. Ammonium chloride

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is the correct answer as carbon is not a sublimable substance. It does not convert into gas without changing into liquid.

Chromatography is used in

(a) separation of colours from dyes (b) pathological test of blood and urine (c) separation of drugs from blood for pathological tests

  1. Only a

  2. Only b

  3. Only c

  4. Only a and c

  5. Only a and b


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. Both a and c are the applications in which chromatography is used.

Fractional crystallisation is used to separate

  1. two solids

  2. two liquids

  3. two gases

  4. a solid and a liquid


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In chemistry, fractional crystallisation is the method of refining substances based on differences in solubility. If a mixture of two or more substances in solution is allowed to crystallise, e.g. by allowing the temperature of the solution to decrease, the precipitate will contain more of the least soluble substance.

Which of the following techniques is used to separate a solid-solid mixture?

  1. Sedimentation

  2. Evaporation

  3. Distillation

  4. Sublimation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase. Sublimation is an endothermic phase transition that occurs at temperatures and pressures below the triple point of a substance in its phase diagram.

Which of the following statements correctly defines crystallisation?

  1. It is a process of obtaining pure solid in the form of its crystals from its solution.

  2. It is a process of separating the suspended particles from a liquid mixture by rotating the mixture at a high speed.

  3. It is a process of separating a sublimable volatile component from a non–sublimable impurity.

  4. It is a process in which a solid is obtained in an impure form from its solution.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Crystallisation is the process in which crystals of a pure substance are obtained by cooling its hot saturated solution. This technique is used for purification of inorganic/organic solids. This is based upon the principle that when a crystal is formed, it tends to exclude the impurities which remain in the solution. Centrifugation is the process of separating the suspended particles from a liquid mixture by rotating the mixture at high speed. This technique is based on the fact that denser particles are forced to the bottom and lighter particles stay at the top when spun rapidly. Sublimation is the process of separating a sublimable volatile component (i.e. substance which changes directly from solid to gas, without going through the intervening liquid state, on heating and vice-versa on cooling) from non–sublimable impurities whereas evaporation is the technique used to separate non–volatile components (solutes) dissolved in volatile solvents, i.e. in this technique, an impure solid is obtained from its solution.

  4. 1 - C, 2 - B, 3 - D, 4 - A

  5. 1 - B, 2 - A, 3 - D, 4 - C


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

(1) Separation of cream from milk - Centrifugation (2) Separation of oil from water - Separating funnel (3) Separation of pigment from natural colours - Chromatography (4) Separation of components of air - Fractional distillation

Which of the following statements is true about physical and chemical changes?

  1. During a chemical change, the reactants form the products with equal mass.

  2. The physical changes can not be reversed.

  3. The chemical changes can be reversed.

  4. In physical changes, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Chemical change is any change that results in the formation of a new chemical substance. It involves making and breaking the bonds between atoms. It cannot be reversed. Physical change is affecting the form of a chemical substance, but not its chemical composition. It can be reversed. 

On which of the following properties does separation of two liquids by fractional distillation depend?

  1. Viscosity

  2. Acidity

  3. Solubility

  4. Boiling point


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Fractional distillation is a technique to separate a mixture of liquids on the basis of the difference in their boiling points. During heating, one and more fraction(s) of the mixture will vapourise.

Which of the following methods of separation contains a stationary phase and a mobile phase?

  1. Crystallisation

  2. Centrifugation

  3. Chromatography

  4. Distillation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Chromatography is a method in which sample extract being dissolved in a mobile phase. The mobile phase is then forced through an immobile, immiscible stationary phase. The phases are chosen such that components of the sample have differing solubilities in each phase. A component which is quite soluble in the stationary phase will take longer to travel through it than a component which is not very soluble in the stationary phase, but very soluble in the mobile phase. As a result of these differences in mobilities, sample components will become separated from each other as they travel through the stationary phase. 

Which of the following would you use to separate sand from iron filings?

  1. Chromatography paper

  2. Filter paper

  3. Distillation apparatus

  4. Bar magnet

  5. Crystallisation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Bar magnet is used to separate sand from iron filings.

Immiscible liquids are separated by

  1. simple distillation

  2. evaporation

  3. separating funnel

  4. fractional distillation

  5. filter funnel


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Immiscible liquids are separated by a separating funnel.

Which of the following options is a chemical change?

  1. Preparation of lemonade

  2. Preparation of cheese

  3. Dilution of alcohol

  4. Cutting of paper


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Chemical change is any change that results in the formation of a new chemical substance. It involves making and breaking the bonds between atoms. It cannot be reversed.

Which of the following options is a physical change?

  1. Browning of apple

  2. Souring of milk

  3. Sublimation of ammonium chloride

  4. Preparation of curd


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Physical change is affecting the form of a chemical substance, but not its chemical composition. It can be reversed.

What is the principle of centrifugation?

  1. Denser particles are forced to the bottom and lighter particles stay at the top when spun rapidly irrespective of the direction of rotation.

  2. Denser particles stay at the top and lighter particles are forced to the bottom when spun rapidly irrespective of the direction of rotation.

  3. Denser particles settle down at the bottom and lighter particles come to the top when the direction of rotation is clockwise and vice-versa.

  4. Centrifugation uses the principle of separation of mixture of two immiscible liquids.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Denser particles are forced to the bottom and lighter particles stay at the top when spun rapidly irrespective of the direction of the rotation.
