1. What is meant by a substance?

Answer.

A pure substance means that it consists of only one type of particle. All the constituent particles have the same characteristic properties and they cannot be separated by physical processes.

2. List the points of difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.

Answer.  

Homogenous Mixture Heterogeneous Mixture
The composition of the Homogenous mixture is the same throughout. The composition of the heterogeneous mixture is not the same throughout.
It has no distinct boundaries i.e. it consists of only one phase which may be solid, liquid, or gas. It has distinct boundaries of separation i.e it consists of two or more phases.

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

Answer.

Mass of solute (Sodium Chloride) = 36g

Mass of solvent (Water) = 100g

Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent = 36g + 100g = 136g

Concentration = (Mass of solute/ Mass of solution) x 100

= (36/136) x 100 = 26.47%

1. How will you separate mixture containing kerosene and petrol (Difference in their boiling points is more than 25°C), which are miscible with each other.

Answer.

A mixture of two miscible liquids such as kerosene and petrol whose boiling points differ by more than 25°C, can be separated by the technique of simple distillation.

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Science Chapter 2 - Is matter around us pure

Method of separation –

  • Take the mixture of kerosene and petrol in a distillation flask.
  • Thermometer has to be fitted in the flask.
  • Then, heat the mixture slowly.
  • Petrol with lower boiling point will distill out first, leaving the kerosene with higher boiling point behind.

ii. Salt from sea water

iii. Camphor

  Answer.

i. Centrifugation

ii. Evaporation

iii. Sublimation

3.What type of mixture is separated by the technique of crystallization?

Answer.

Crystallization technique is used to purify solids from liquids which have some impurities and have sufficiently different solubility from the impurities present. For example, impure copper sulphate, alum, nitrate, sea-salt, etc can be separated by crystallization.

(f) Separating funnel
(g) Filtration
(h) Filtration using a magnet
(i) Blowing air or seiving
(j) Using alum/filter paper

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

Answer.

  • Take some water in a container and heat it on a burner.
  • Then add some tea leaves. Water acts as a solvent and tea-leaves as a solute. It is insoluble in water.
  • Add some sugar and heat till it dissolves completely. Sugar is completely soluble in water.
  • Add milk which is soluble in water. Boil the contents.
  • Filter the mixture through a sieve
  • Tea collected in the cup as filtrate and tea leaves collected on the strainer as residue.




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).

(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?
(b) Pragya makes a saturated solution of potassium chloride in water at 353 K and leaves the solution to cool at room temperature. What would she observe us the solution cools? Explain.
(c) Find the solubility of each salt at 293 K. Which salt has the highest solubility at this temperature?
(d) What is the effect of change of temperature on the solubility of a salt?

Answer.

(a) Mass of potassium nitrate present in 100g of water in a saturated solution at 313K = 62g

Thus, Mass of potassium nitrate present in 50g of water in a saturated solution at 313K = [(62/100) x 50]g = 31g

(b) When a saturated solution of potassium chloride at 353K is cooled, the solubility of potassium chloride in water decreases. As a result, the amount of potassium chloride which exceeds its solubility at lower temperature separates out as crystals.

(c) Solubility of potassium nitrate at 293K = 32g

Solubility of sodium chloride at 293K = 36g

Solubility of potassium chloride at 293K= 35g

Solubility of ammonium chloride at 293K = 37g

From the above data, it is clear that the ammonium chloride has the highest solubility at 293K

(d) The solubility of a salt generally increases with temperature. The increase Is however different for different salts.

4.Explain the following giving examples.

(a) Saturated solution
(b) Pure substance
(c) Colloid
(d) Suspension

Answer.

(a) Saturated solution –

A solution which contains the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent at a particular temperature is called as saturated. Example- In aqueous  solution of sugar, no more sugar can be dissolved at room temperature after a certain point.

(b) Pure Substance –

A pure substance consists of particles of only one kind of matter. Pure substance can be either elements (ex. Copper, iron etc) or compounds (ex. Sugar, common salt, etc).

(c) Colloid-

Colloids are heterogeneous mixtures in which particle size lies in between that of true solutions and suspension, they are too small to be seen by naked eyes. However, these particles can scatter a beam of light. Example- Milk, smoke , etc

(d) Suspension-

Suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures in which solids are dispersed in liquids. Solute particles do not dissolve but remain suspended throughout the medium. The particles are big enough to be seen by naked eyes. Example- Paints, etc
