Which of the following statements is/are correct about a colloidal solution?

  1. It must have components from all three phases, i.e. solids, liquids and gases.

  2. Dispersion medium is a component of a colloid.

  3. Dispersed phase is a component of a colloid.

  4. Both (2) and (3)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Dispersed phase and dispersion medium are the two components of a colloidal solution. The rest of the statements are incorrect as: (1) Combination of all the three phases, i.e. solids, liquids and gases, is not necessary to form a colloid. (2) The solute-like component or the dispersed particles in a colloid form the dispersed phase. (3) A colloid does not settle down when left undisturbed, i.e. a colloid is quite stable. 

Which of the following mixtures is also a solution?

  1. Mixture of milk and water

  2. Mixture of sand and water

  3. Mixture of salt and water

  4. Mixture of cement and water


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A solution is defined as a homogeneous mixture of two or more chemically non–reacting substances whose composition can be varied within limits. If a mixture is to be called a solution, it must satisfy the following two conditions: (i) The components of a mixture should be non–reacting. (ii) Mixture should be homogeneous.

  1. Particles of all forms of matter can be seen with naked eye.

  2. Particles of matter keep on dividing themselves into smaller and smaller particles.

  3. In all forms of matter, there is space among the particles.

  4. We can mix sugar in tea, coffee, etc. because of the presence of spaces among the particles of one form of matter.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Particles of matter cannot be seen with naked eye. 

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

a. The substance present in smaller proportion in a solution is called solvent. b. A true solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. c. A solution in which more solid can be dissolved at a given temperature is an unsaturated solution.

  1. a, b and c

  2. a and b

  3. a and c

  4. b and c

Which of the following is not a property of a compound?

  1. It is a pure substance.

  2. It is mixed in any proportion by mass.

  3. It cannot be separated into its constituents by physical means.

  4. It is composed of two or more elements.


Correct Option: B
