Q1 A mixture of chalk powder and water can be

separated using the technique of filtration because_____
Answer: 1 Filtration is a method used to filter undissolved substance from a
solution. Chalk powder is collected as residue on filter paper and water is
collected as filtrate.
Q2 Name the technique which is used in pathological
laboratory for blood test in detecting traces of drugs.

Centrifugation

Q3 Which method will you use to separate the following

mixtures?
(i)Sand & water (ii) Clay & water (iii) Cream & milk (iv)
used tea leaves & prepared tea
(i) Sand & water-------- filtration
(ii) Clay & water------ Centrifugation
(iii) Cream & milk---- Centrifugation

(iv) Used tea leaves & prepared tea----- filtration

Q4 Which is the best method to separate the solute from a
solution, when all you want is the solute and not the solvent?
By evaporation technique all the solvent gets evaporated and what
remains is just the solute.
Q5 What is the basic principle behind simple distillation
process?
Simple distillation is the process of separating components of mixture containing
two miscible liquids that boil without decomposition and have sufficient
difference in their boiling points.
What type of change takes place when food we eat gets
digested?
Digestion of food is a chemical change because during digestion substances
undergo change in chemical composition and new substances are formed.
What happens when physical change takes place in a matter?
In a physical change, properties of a substance do not change. No new product
is formed.
Prove that blood is a colloid though it looks like a
homogeneous
Blood is solution which is not clear and transparent to light and appears "murky"
or "opaque" and one continuous phase. When we filter milk it is one phase and
no separation is seen. If beam of light is passed it scatters light and shows
Tyndall effect so it is a colloid. Under a high definition microscope the colloidal
particles appear as tiny points of light in constant Zig – zag motion which helps
to keep the particles in suspended and they do not settle. The particles are large
enough to scatter light. Colloids generally do not separate on standing they do
not settle and can not be separated by filtration.
If a solution contains 60 g of common salt in 340 g of water,
the mass by mass percentage

Q1 What is the principle of centrifugation?

The principle of centrifugation is that denser particles are forced to the bottom
and lighter particles stay at the top when spun rapidly.
Q2 What technique you will use to separate drugs from blood?
Explain
Chromatography is the technique used for the separation of solutes that
dissolve in the same solvent and which are in minute quantities
How will you separate a mixture of two immiscible liquids-
kerosene oil and water
Separating funnel is used to separate mixture of two immiscible liquids. Kerosene oil
and water do not mix with each other and form separate layers. Oil floats on water
because oil is lighter than water. The mixture separates into two layers according to the
densities of the liquid in it. The heavier liquid (water) forms the lower layer whereas the
lighter liquid forms the upper layer (kerosene)
What type of change takes place when a piece of cloth is burn
It is a chemical change because chemical properties of cloth changes
after burning. A piece of cloth burns to form ashes.
Explosion of a cracker is a chemical change. Explain
Explosion of a cracker is a chemical change because due to burning new
product is formed with new properties. (Smoke and energy are release
Metals can be drawn into thin wires. This is because
Ability of metals to be drawn into wires is known as ductility
What type of mixture is obtained on continuous stirring when
we add one spoon of sugar to water?
Homogeneous mixture is a mixture whose components mix completely with
each other to make a uniform composition
8g of sugar is added to 40 g of water calculate mass %
Mass of solute = 8g &mass of solution = 8+ 40 = 48g

Mass % of solution = 8x 100/ 48 = 16.22%
