Which of the following methods of separation is used to separate tea leaves from the prepared tea?

  1. Filtration

  2. Hand picking

  3. Threshing

  4. Sedimentation

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

We use the method of filtration to separate the tea leaves from the prepared tea. The tea strainer is held in the hand while pouring the tea in the cup. The liquid tea is poured into the cup, and the tea leaves remain in the strainer. This method is called filtration. 

Which of the following is not an example of mixture?

  1. Milk

  2. Air

  3. Crude petroleum

  4. Stainless steel

  5. Copper


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Copper is not a mixture, but an element. It is made of only one type of atom that is copper.

Which of the following is not a component of crude petroleum?

  1. Petrol

  2. Diesel

  3. Kerosene

  4. Water

  5. Petroleum gas


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Water is not a component of crude oil. We do not get water when crude oil is refined or processed.

In which of the following methods of separation, are harmful substances removed?

  1. Winnowing

  2. Hand picking

  3. Threshing

  4. Evaporation

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The harmful substances from rice like stones and insects are separated from picking by hand. The stones and insects are picked by hand and then separated from it. 

The method of separation that is used at construction sites is

  1. hand picking

  2. winnowing

  3. threshing

  4. sieving

  5. decantation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sieving is a method of separation, which is used at construction sites. In this process, the stones or pebbles are separated from sand by sieving. Sand is needed at construction sites for construction like buildings, temples etc.

In which of the following methods of separation, shallow vessel with small holes is used?

  1. Hand picking

  2. Threshing

  3. Sieving

  4. Winnowing

  5. Sedimentation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Shallow vessel with small holes at its bottom is used in sieving. A sieve is a shallow vessel with small holes at its bottom, and hence the method of separating the components of a mixture that are of different sizes is called sieving.

Kerosene oil and water can be separated by the process of

  1. filtration

  2. decantation

  3. hand-picking

  4. threshing

  5. evaporation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Kerosene oil and water can be separated by the process of decantation by using a separating funnel. Kerosene oil does not dissolve in water and forms a seperate layer. As kerosene is lighter, it would remain in the separating funnel and water being heavier would fall down in the beaker.

In which of the following methods of separation, sand settles down at the bottom of the beaker and the clear layer of water is formed above the layer of sand?

  1. Sedimentation

  2. Winnowing

  3. Threshing

  4. Hand picking

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sand is separated from water in sedimentation. When sand settles down at the bottom of the beaker and the clear water is left above the layer of sand, it is known as sedimentation.

Which of the following is not an example of filtration?

  1. Separating tea leaves from liquid tea

  2. Separating the seeds from the juice prepared

  3. Separating the impurities from tap water

  4. Separating grains from the rest of the plant

  5. Separating mud from water


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Separating grains from the rest of the plant is an example of threshing, not filtration. 

Salt is obtained from sea water by the process of

  1. condensation

  2. sedimentation

  3. decantation

  4. evaporation

  5. none of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Salt is separated from sea water by the process of evaporation. The sea water is a liquid. Hence, it changes into vapours and vaporizes whereas salt being a solid does not. Thus, we get salt from sea water by the process of evaporation.

Which of the following is opposite process of evaporation?

  1. Condensation

  2. Sedimentation

  3. Decantation

  4. Filtration

  5. Threshing


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The opposite of evaporation is condensation. In evaporation, liquid is changed into vapours whereas the vapours are changed into liquid in condensation. In evaporation, there is heating whereas in condensation there is cooling.

Which of the following methods of separation is used only by the farmer?

  1. Sedimentation

  2. Threshing

  3. Decantation

  4. Filtration

  5. Sieving


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In threshing, the food grains are separated from the rest of the plant. This is done in the agricultural field. As only farmer works in the agricultural field, this method of separation is used by the farmer only.

Coarse flour is separated from fine flour by the process of

  1. threshing

  2. hand picking

  3. winnowing

  4. sieving

  5. decantation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The method of sieving is used to separate coarse flour from fine flour. The sieve is a shallow vessel with small holes in it. The fine flour being heavier falls down below the sieve, and the coarse flour being lighter remains on the sieve.

The solubility of a saturated solution increases upon

  1. heating

  2. cooling

  3. filtration

  4. condensation

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The solubility of a saturated solution increases upon heating. For instance, if there is some undissolved sugar in a solution of water and sugar, and if it is heated, we find that the undissolved sugar at the bottom of the beaker dissolves. This is because the temperature increases.

After adding spoonfuls of salt in water, we find that some salt is not dissolved into it. Thus, the solution is said to be

  1. unsaturated solution

  2. immiscible solution

  3. saturated solution

  4. miscible solution

  5. none of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Solution in which no more substance can be dissolved is called saturated solution. Some salt (substance) is left undissolved. Hence, it means that no more salts can be dissolved in water.
