Question 1. What is meant by a substance?

Answer- A pure substance consists of a single type of particles.

Question 2. List the points of differences between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.

Answer–

Homogeneous mixtures	Heterogeneous mixtures
• It has uniform composition. • No visible boundaries of separation. • They consist of only one phase. Example: sugar + water → sugar solution.	• It does not have a uniform composition. • Shows visible boundaries of separation. • They consist of more than one phase. Example: sugar + sand

Question 2. How are sol, solution and suspension different from each other?

Answer–

Sol. (colloid)	Solution	Suspension
1. Size of solute particles between 1 nm to 100 nm. 2. It is stable. 3. It scatters a beam of light. 4. Solute particles pass through filter paper.	1. Size of solute particles. 2. less than 1 nm (10⁹ m) Stable. 3. It does not scatter light. 4. Solute particles pass through filter paper.	1. Size of solute particles is 2. more than 100 nm. Unstable. 3. It scatters a beam of light. 4. Solute particles do not pass through filter paper.

Question 3. To make a saturated solution, 36 g of sodium chloride is dissolved in 100 g of water at 293 K. Find its concentration at this temperature.

Answer- Mass of solute (sodium chloride) = 36 g
Mass of solvent (water) = 100 g
Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent
= 36 g + 100 g = 136 g
Concentration = Mass of solute / Mass of solution x 100
= 36/136 x 100
= 26.47%

(iii) camphor from salt.

Answer- (i) Centrifugation,
(ii) Evaporation,
(iii) Sublimation.

Question 3. What type of mixtures are separated by the technique of crystallisation?

Question 2. Write the steps you would use for making tea. Use the words, solution, solvent, solute, dissolve, soluble, insoluble, filtrate and residue.

Answer- 1. Take a cup of water in a container as solvent and heat it.
2. Add sugar in it which is solute. Heat it till all sugar dissolves.
3. You get a solution of water and sugar.
4. Sugar is soluble in water completely.
5. Add half a tea-spoon of tea-leaves, it is insoluble in water.
6. Boil the content, add milk which is also soluble in water, boil again.
7. Filter the tea with the help of strainer, the tea collected in cup is filtrate and the tea leaves collected on the strainer is residue.

Question 3. Pragya tested the solubility of three different substances at different temperatures and collected, the data as given below (results are given in the following table, as grams of substance dissolved in 100 grams of water to form a saturated solution).

substance dissolve	temperature in k and solubility
substance dissolve	283	293	313	333	353
potassium nitrate	21	32	62	106	167
sodium chloride	36	36	36	37	37
potassium chloride	35	35	40	46	54
Ammonium chloride	24	37	41	55	66

(a) What mass of potassium nitrate would be needed to produce a saturated solution of potassium nitrate in 50 grams of water at 313 K?

Answer- Mass of KNO, to produce a saturated solution of KNO, in 100 grams of
water at 313 K – 62 g
Mass of KNO₃ in 50 grams of water at 313 K
= 62.0 x 50/100
= 31.0 g

(b) Pragya makes a saturated solution of potassium chloride in water at 353 K and leaves the solution to coo! at room temperature. What would she observe us the solution cools? Explain.

Answer- Crystals of potassium chloride will be obtained on cooling the saturated solution.

Answer- On increasing the temperature, solubility of a salt increases.

Question 4. Explain the following giving examples:

(a) Saturated solution

Answer– In a given solvent when no more solute can dissolve further at a given temperature is called saturated solution.

(b) Pure substance
Answer- A pure substance consists of a single type of particles. E.g., gold, silver.

(c) Colloid
Answer– A colloid is a solution in which the size of solute particles are bigger than that of true solution. These particles cannot be seen with our naked eyes, they are stable, e.g., ink, blood.

(d) Suspension

Answer- It is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles are big enough to settle down, e.g., chalk-water, paints, etc.

Answer- Homogeneous – Soda water, vinegar, filtered tea.
Heterogeneous – Wood, air, soil.

Question 6. How would, you confirm that a colourless liquid given to you is pure water?

Answer– By finding the boiling point of a given colourless liquid. If the liquid boils at 100°C at atmospheric pressure, then it is pure water. This is because pure substances have fixed melting and boiling point.
