Thus, evaporation is the process used to recover salt from sea water.

16.  Name the process you would use to separate sugar dissolved in water. 

Ans: Evaporation is the process by which a substance changes from a liquid state to a gaseous one below the boiling point; in particular, it is the way in which liquid water becomes water vapour and enters the atmosphere. Using evaporation, we can separate sugar dissolved in water.

17. What method will you use to separate copper sulphate from its solution? 

Ans: The crystals of copper sulphate dissolve in water to generate copper sulphate solution. Evaporation technique is mainly used to separate copper sulphate from copper sulphate solution. In order to extract copper sulphate back, the solution must be heated so that water is then evaporated away leaving behind solid copper sulphate crystals.

18. You are given a salt solution. What method will you use:  

1. to recover only salt? 

2. to recover salt as well as water? 

Ans: 

1. Salt and water combine well to create a clear salt solution. Therefore, evaporation is used to separate salt from water because their respective boiling points are different. In this procedure, water and common salt are mixed in a porcelain dish. The solution is heated until the water in the mixture turns into water vapours. Thus, common salt was extracted from the salt solution through evaporation.

2. Distillation is a two-step process that involves boiling water to create water vapours or steam and then condensing a hot water vapour back into a liquid state after cooling, respectively. In order to separate salt and water from the salt water mixture, distillation is required.

19. What name is given to the solution in which no more substance can be dissolved at that temperature? 

Ans: The term "saturated solution" refers to a solution containing as much solute that can dissolve at a particular temperature. Due to the presence of intermolecular space between solvent molecules, the solute can dissolve in a solvent in a saturated solution. However, if solute is added continuously, the solvent particles' intermolecular gap is filled and further addition is prevented. As a result, at that temperature, a saturated solution is one in which no additional substance can be dissolved.

Short Answer Type Questions

21. What Is Evaporation? State one large scale use of the process of evaporation.

Ans: Evaporation is the process by which a substance changes from a liquid state to a gaseous one below the boiling point; in particular, it is the way in which liquid water becomes water vapour and enters the atmosphere. The solvent in the mixture is evaporated during the evaporation process. To obtain common salt from saltwater, extensive evaporation is carried out. Using evaporation, we can also separate sugar dissolved in water.

22. How will you obtain clear water from a sample of muddy water? 

Ans: In a beaker, the murky water is collected. A thread is attached to a large chunk of alum. Then, using a thread to hold it, the piece of alum is lowered into the beaker of murky water and rotated there three or four times and then removed.  Some of the alum dissolves in the water when the piece of alum is rotated in murky water. The dissolved alum particle settles on the muddy water's suspended clay particles. In this method, the heavy alum particles are loaded onto the suspended clay particles. As a result, the clay particles became quite heavy and sits at the bottom of the beaker.

23. Define solubility of a substance. How does the solubility of a substance vary with temperature? 

Ans: The maximum amount of a substance that may dissolve in 100g of water at a specific temperature is known as the solubility of water. The solubility of a substance increases as the temperature rises. The term "saturated solution" refers to a solution containing as much solute as can dissolve at a particular temperature. Due to the presence of intermolecular space between solvent molecules, the solute can dissolve in a solvent in a saturated solution. However, if solute is added continuously, the solvent particles' intermolecular gap is filled and further addition is prevented. As a result, at that temperature, a saturated solution is one in which no additional substance can be dissolved.

24. How is fine sand separated from larger particles? Explain. 

Ans: It is necessary to separate mixtures that solely include particles using sieving, hand picking, threshing, magnetic separation, chromatography, and winnowing. The sedimentation and decantation methods must be used to separate mixtures that comprise both solid and liquid particles. The separation procedure known as sieving is used to separate solid mixtures of varying sizes. So, in order to obtain fine sand, sieving is employed. To obtain fine sand from coarse sand, stones and other bigger particles are removed using a sieve with a huge iron mesh that is positioned at an angle.

25. How will you separate a mixture of mustard seeds and powdered common salt?

Ans: Decantation is similar to sedimentation, but it also requires pouring out the liquid in order to leave the solid behind. By letting the solid settle to the bottom of the container, sedimentation is the process of separating the insoluble solid from the liquid. So in the case of mustard seeds and ordinary salt in powder. Mustard seeds are not soluble in water, while salt and water combine well to generate a transparent salt solution. So, we fill a glass with water first, and then add a mixture of mustard seeds and salt in powder. After thoroughly combining the ingredients, the common salt in powder form will be dissolved, leaving the mustard seeds behind.

26. How is scrap iron separated from a heap of waste materials in factories? 

Ans: Large electromagnets are used in factories to separate the scrap iron from the pile of waste items. Large electromagnets that are mounted on a crane are used to separate the scrap iron from the pile of waste materials. The scraping iron pieces were separated from the pile of waste debris when these powerful electromagnets passed over it.

27. 

1. A cup of tea is said to be a mixture. Name its various components.

2. What is the general name of the process by which tea-leaves are separated from prepared tea? 

Ans: 

1. A cup of tea contains milk, tea leaves, sugar, water, etc and hence is said to be a mixture. Each of these ingredients has a unique characteristic, such as the sweetness that sugar adds or the taste that tea leaves provide.

2. Filtration is the process by which constituents of a fluid mixture are separated based on their size. Filtration is the method for separating a mixture of chalk powder and water. Filtration is the general name of the process by which tea-leaves are separated from prepared tea.

28. Define the terms (a) sedimentation, and (b) decantation. 

Ans: Decantation is similar to sedimentation, but it also requires pouring out the liquid in order to leave the solid behind. By letting the solid settle to the bottom of the container, sedimentation is the process of separating the insoluble solid from the liquid.

29. Which of the two will dissolve more sugar: cold water or warm water? Why?

Ans: Warm water will dissolve more sugar when compared to cold water because as the temperature rises, solubility also rises. Warm water speeds up the process compared to cold water because of the increased molecular motion and frequency of collisions between the water and sugar molecules. In cold water, the molecular motion is lower, which leads to fewer collisions between the molecules. Thus, decomposition will be gradual.

30. You are given a mixture of iron filings and sulphur powder. How will you separate them from the mixture? 

Ans: To separate the components of such a mixture, magnetic separation is used, in which a magnet is passed over the mixture's surface. When a magnet is moved over the given mixture's surface, the iron fillings, being magnetic, are attracted by the magnet. Sulphur powder, on the other hand, is not magnetic and is not attracted by magnets. Sulphur powder, on the other hand, is left behind since it is not magnetic, and thus the two may be easily separated.

31. Define the terms 

1. threshing, and 

2. winnowing.

Ans: 

1. Threshing is a process used to separate grain from the stem and chaff that is covering a grain. In this procedure, the stems of food grain crops like paddy or wheat are beaten or hit hard on a surface. Both the stem and chaff of a crop plant are delicate materials and break, but grains are hard and are unaffected.

2. Winnowing is a method of separation that employs wind to extract the grains from the husk. The grains and husk mixture is placed in a basket and let to fall from a height while the basket is continuously shaken. The grains are heavy and fall vertically to the ground during this process. The husk, on the other hand, is lighter and is carried far by the wind.

32. 

1. State one use of the method of winnowing. 

2. Give one use of the 'hand-picking' method of separating mixtures in daily life.

Ans: 

1. Due to the fact that food grains are often heavier and husk is lighter, farmers employed this approach to separate various types of food grains like wheat, rice, or corn from straw or husk.

2. Hand picking is the most common method for separating various substances in our daily lives. We frequently find some stones in wheat, rice, and pulses. This approach is simple and requires no machinery or equipment for separation. Hand picking is used to remove the stones from grains like rice, wheat, or lentils in order to use only the pure grains.

33. How will you separate a mixture of common salt, sand and iron filings? 

Ans: Magnetic separation is used to separate the iron fillings from the provided mixture. Iron fillings are magnetic and are drawn to magnets. Iron filling sticks to a magnet when it is moved over the surface of the provided combination, leaving salt and sand mixture behind. Filtration is employed to separate salt and sand from the mixture. Sand is insoluble thus the mixture of sand and salt must first be dissolved in water before being filtered through a screen. The evaporation process is used to extract salt from its water-based solution. The solution is heated to the point where salt crystals are left behind and water evaporates as steam.

34. Name the method which can be used to separate: 

1. sand and water from their mixture. 

2. iron nails from saw-dust.

Ans: 

1. Decantation can be used to separate the sand and water from their mixture. The sand in this mixture sinks to the bottom of the beaker. As a result, the decantation procedure can separate the water. This method also separates various other non-mixing liquids. Sand will stay as the water is poured into a different vessel.

2. Magnets can be used to separate iron nails from sawdust. Because sawdust and iron have different physical characteristics. Iron is a magnetic solid or a metal composite that is magnetically sensitive. As a result, it can be quickly drawn in by a magnetic force that is acting on that mixture.

35. How do jewellers separate the pearls of different sizes?

Ans: Jewellers can manually pick or sieve the pearls of various sizes to separate them. Sieving is the process of separating tiny particles from bigger ones using a sieve. In this instance, pearls and jewels are of varying sizes. Jewellers are bigger than pearl. Therefore, sieving makes it simple to separate it. The sieve's hole will allow all of the pearls to flow through, leaving the jewellers behind because of the larger size of the hole that prevents them from passing through.

36. How is the impurity of iron present in several substances removed in industries? 

Ans: An electromagnet is used in industries to eliminate the iron impurity that is present in a number of substances. Because iron and impurities have different physical characteristics. Iron is a magnetic solid or a metal composite that is magnetically sensitive. Therefore, it is easily drawn by an electromagnet. However, the impurity cannot be attracted by an electromagnet. So, employing an electromagnet, the iron impurity that is present in many substances can be eliminated.

Long Answer Type Questions

37. What is a mixture? Give five examples of mixtures. Why do we call sea-water a mixture? 

Ans: A material is referred to as a mixture if it contains two or more distinct substances. Secondly, the components of the combination are physically joined together rather than chemically joining. The mixture may consist of suspensions, solutions, or colloids. 

There are primarily two kinds of the mixture. Mixtures that are homogenous and heterogeneous.

Examples of mixtures include tea, cement, sea, etc.

Seawater is seen as a combination. Considering that seawater is composed of more than just salt and water. When salt is dissolved in water, it is referred to as a solute and the water is referred to as a solvent.

38. Describe how common salt is obtained from sea-water.

Ans: Evaporation is the process by which a substance changes from a liquid state to a gaseous one below the boiling point. In particular, it is the way in which liquid water becomes water vapour and enters the atmosphere. The solvent in the mixture is evaporated during the evaporation process. To obtain common salt from saltwater, extensive evaporation is carried out. Seawater evaporates as water vapour into the atmosphere when it is exposed to sunlight during the evaporation process. Salt will continue to be solid.

39. Why do we need to separate different components of a mixture? Explain with examples.

Ans: Two or more different kinds of substances or components are present in a mixture. Some of the compounds will be useless or hazardous to people as a result. Therefore, these components may have been taken out of the mixture. Taking stone collection from wheat and rice as an example, because stone is an undesirable component of wheat and rice and filtering the liquid to separate the tea leaves from it. Additionally, handpicking, threshing, winnowing, sieving, distillation, sedimentation or filtration, and separating funnels are some of the common techniques used to separate components or mixtures.

40. Name a solid, a liquid and a gaseous mixture. How will you separate a mixture of sugar and sand?

Ans: A solid mixture made up of two or more other solids. Consider the word alloy. A metal called an alloy is composed of two or more metallic components.

A liquid mixture is any solution that includes two or more other liquids; water and alcohol are an example. Water and alcohol are the only two ingredients in it.

A gaseous combination made up of two or more elements. For instance, air. Various gaseous substances, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc., are present in the air.

The dissolving of sugar in water can separate the sugar and sand mixture. When sugar is dissolved in water, the sand will remain suspended at the bottom (sedimentation), the solution can be collected and heated so that the water is evaporated leaving the sugar crystals behind. 

41. 

1. What is a saturated solution? Explain with an example. 

2. What will happen if the saturated solution of a substance in water is 

1. heated, and 

2. cooled? 

Ans: 

1. A solution is a uniform mixing of at least two components. The solute and the solvent are the two main divisions of the components found in the final solution. Unsaturated solution and saturated solution are the two main divisions of the solution. The term "saturated solution" refers to a solution containing as much solute as can dissolve at a particular temperature. Due to the presence of intermolecular space between solvent molecules, the solute can dissolve in a solvent in a saturated solution. However, if solute is added continuously, the solvent particles' intermolecular gap is filled and further addition is prevented. As a result, at that temperature, a saturated solution is one in which no additional substance can be dissolved.

2. 
   

1. The solubility of the solute may rise as a result of heating saturated solution, causing saturated solution to become unsaturated.

2. By making the solute less soluble, cooling saturated solutions causes precipitate to develop as solid crystals.
