Solution and suspension

 

Short Questions:

 

Q1. What is solution? Give an example?

A solution is a uniform mixture of two or more substances.

e.g., salt mix in water.

 

Q2. What is difference between solute and solvent?

 

Solute:

It is a substance that dissolves.

e.g., salt

 

 

Solvent:

It sis a substance that dissolves or dissolves a solute. E.g., water

 

Q3. What is difference between dilute and concentrated solution?

Dilute solution:

It is a weak solution or one having little solute.

 

Concentrated solution:

It is a strong solution or one containing large solute.

 

Q4: State four characteristics of a solution?

1.  Particles of solute do not sattle at out.

2.  Particles pass through filter paper.

3.  Light rays do not scatter on passing through solution.

4.  Mixture of solute and solvent should be uniform.

 

Q5. What is saturated solution? What effect does warming have on saturated solution?

Saturated solution is one that will not dissolve any more solute at that temperature.

When we warm the solution, it converted into super saturated solution.

 

Q6. What is supersaturated solution?

It is a solution that have more solute in solution than would normally dissolve at that temperature.

 

Q7. How would you make a concentrated solution weaker?

By increasing the amount of solvent or by decreasing the amount of solvent in solution, we can make a concentrated solution weaker.

 

Q8. What is meant by solubility of substance? What effect does temperature have on solubility of a substance?

The solubility of a solid in a liquid in an amount of solid which will dissolve in 100mg of that liquid at given temperature. Solubility increased with increasing temperature.

 

Q9: What is suspension? Give three examples?

A suspension is a mixture containing tiny solid as liquid particles suspended in a liquid as gas.

e.g.,

i. solid and water.

ii. Indigestion mixture

iii. Window cleaner

 

Q10. What is effect of temperature on the amount of gas that will dissolve in a liquid?

More gas dissolve in liquid at low temperature than in warm.

 

Q11. What is difference between miscible and immiscible solutions?

Miscible solution:

When liquid dissolve in water called miscible solution. e.g., ink and water.

 

Immiscible solution:

When liquid does not dissolve in water called immiscible solution. e.g., soil and water.

 

Q12. What is difference between homogeneous and non homogeneous solutions?

 

Homogeneous:

It is a solution where the components that make up a solution are uniformly distributed throughout the solution.

 

Non homogeneous:

|The solution in which components of solution does not uniformly distributed called non homogeneous solution.

 

 

Long Questions:

Q1. Prove that why water is considered as a universal solvent?

Most of things dissolve in water easily we can say that water is a very good solvent.

i.            Sugar, rock salt etc dissolve in water.

ii.           Mild, alcohol, lemon juice and vinegar dissolve in water.

iii.         The food we eat form a solution in the body and then absorbs in the blood.

iv.         Many harmful substances produce in our body. These substances dissolve in water and excrete as urine.

v.           Plants absorb minerals from the soil that are dissolve in water.

vi.         Oxygen gas dissolve in water. It keeps aquatic animals alive.

vii.       CO2 gas also dissolve in water and keep equatic plants alive.

Q2. Write a note on solution and suspension?

 

Solution:

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more component. It have following properties.

Particles pass through filter paper.

Light rays can pass through solution.

 

Examples:

Air, alloy, lemonade, tea and carbonate water.

 

Suspension:

A mixture in which the solute particles are too large to move freely with the solvent particles and particles settle down after some time, is called a suspension. It have following properties.

i.            Particles can be separated by filter paper.

ii.           Light rays scatter on passing through suspension.

Examples:

Mixture of chalk and water, mixing soil and
