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

Q.2 Write the steps you would use for making tea. Use the words solution, solvent, solute, dissolve, soluble, insoluble, filtrate and residue.
Answer
First a cup of water is taken as a solvent in a saucer pan and heat it.. During heating, milk and tea leaves are added to the solvent as solutes. Now we get a solution.
Then, the solution is poured through a strainer. The insoluble part of the solution remains on the strainer as residue. Sugar is added to the filtrate, which dissolves in the filtrate. The resulting solution is the required tea.

(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 as 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
Q.4 Explain the following by giving examples:
(a) Saturated solution
(b) pure substance
(c) Colloid
(d) suspension
Answer
(a)Saturated Solution: A saturated solution is a solution in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved at a given temperature. The solution cannot dissolve beyond that amount of solute at that temperature. If more solute added will settle down at the bottom of the container as a precipitate.
Suppose 300g of a solvent can dissolve a maximum of 100g of a particular solute at 250C. Then, the solution obtained by dissolving 100g of that solute in 300g of that solvent at 250C is said to be a saturated solution at 250C.
(b)Pure Substance: A pure substance is a substance consisting of a single type of particle, i.e., all constituent particles of the substance have the same chemical properties. Example- gold, silver etc.
(c) Colloid: A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture. The size of the solutes in this mixture is so small that they cannot be seen individually with naked eyes, and
seems to be distributed uniformly throughout the mixture. The solute particles do not settle down when the mixture is left undisturbed. This means that colloid is quite stable. Colloids cannot be separated by the process of filtration. They can be separated by centrifugation.
Colloids show the Tyndall effect. For example, milk, butter, foam, fog, smoke, clouds.
(d)Suspension: Suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures. The solute particles in this mixture remain suspended throughout the medium. The particles can be seen with naked eyes. It shows the Tyndall effect. The solute particles settle down when the mixture is left undisturbed. It means suspensions are unstable. Suspensions can be separated by the method of filtration.
For example, mixtures of chalk powder and water, wheat flour and water. Example- chalk- water, paints etc.
Q.5 Classify each of the following as a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture : soda water, wood, air, soil, vinegar, filtered tea.
Answer
Homogeneous mixture: Soda water, air, vinegar, filtered tea.
Heterogeneous mixture: Wood, soil. Air is a homogeneous mixture of different gases. If some dust or other particles are present, then air becomes a heterogeneous mixture.
Q.6 How would you confirm that a colourless liquid given to you is pure water?
Answer
Every liquid has a specific boiling point. Pure water has a boiling point of 1000C (373K) at 1 atmospheric pressure. If the given colourless liquid boils at slightly above or below 1000C, then the given liquid is not pure water. It must boil at sharp l000C, Thus by observing the boiling point, and we can confirm whether a given colourless liquid is pure water or not.
