A $40\ ml$ of a mixture of ${ H } _{ 2 }$ and ${ O } _{ 2 }$ at $18\ ^0C$ and $1\ atm$ pressure was parked so that the for water was complete. The remaining pure gas had a volume of $10\ ml$ at 18 $^0C$ and $1\ atm$ pressure, the remaining gas was ${ H } _{ 2,}$ the mole fraction of ${ H } _{ 2 }$ in the $40\ ml$ mixture is:

  1. Urea

  2. Camphor

  3. Benzoic acid

  4. Naphthalene

Show answer
Correct Option: A

Naphthalene is a volatile solid. It is best purified by:

chemistry separation of matter sedimentation, decantation and filtration other methods of separation separation methods

  1. Crystallisation

  2. Distillation

  3. Steam distillation

  4. Sublimation

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sublimation is the process in which a particular solid is converted into gas without changing into liquid. Naphthalene is volatile. It sublimates at room temperature without converting into liquid.

Sublimation is a process in which a solid.

  1. Changes into another allotropic form

  2. Changes into liquid form

  3. Changes into vapour form

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sublimation is a specialized change of state when a solid substance skips the liquid phase and moves directly into the gas phase. This occurs because the substance absorbs energy so quickly from the surroundings that melting never occurs.

Examples:

  •  "Dry ice" or solid carbon dioxide sublimes.
  •  Snow and ice can sublime in the winter months without melting.

Anthracene is purified by?

  1. Filtration

  2. Distillation

  3. Crystallisation

  4. Sublimation

Show answer
Correct Option: D

A mixture of water and NaCl can be separated by?

chemistry separation of matter sedimentation, decantation and filtration other methods of separation separation methods

  1. Sublimation

  2. Evaporation

  3. Decantation

  4. Filtration

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Salt dissolves in water. There is a high difference in their boiling point, so evaporation can be used to remove the water to obtain salt. The water vapours that evaporates can be condensed to form water. Salt is left behind as residue during evaporation.

How are the following separated ?
Lead sulphate from a mixture of lead sulphate and lead chloride ?

chemistry separation of matter sedimentation, decantation and filtration other methods of separation separation methods

  1. distillation

  2. filtration

  3. chromatography

  4. evaporation

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Lead sulphate is insoluble in water whereas lead chloride is soluble. By dissolving the mixture of lead sulphate and lead chloride in water we can separate the two. After dissolving the mixture in water, lead sulphate can be obtained as the solid that's left behind. Lead chloride can be recovered by evaporating the solution.

Name a technique used to separate : Carbon and sulphur

chemistry separation of matter sedimentation, decantation and filtration other methods of separation separation methods

  1. sublimation

  2. filtration

  3. distillation

  4. magnetic

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

By sublimation - Sulphur on heating directly converts into its gaseous state, which can later be converted into its solid state again. Carbon does not show the same property.

Name a technique used to separate : Iodine and alcohol

chemistry separation of matter sedimentation, decantation and filtration other methods of separation separation methods

  1. filtration

  2. distillation

  3. evaporation

  4. sublimation

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Iodine dissolved in alcohol is called tincture of iodine. Alcohol is a volatile liquid. So the mixture can be kept open or warmed in a water bath. Alcohol will evaporate leaving behind the iodine crystals.
