Chapter 2 Is Matter Around Us Pure Class 9 Science Assignment

Question : What is meant by a pure substance?
Answer : Substance having single type of particles is known as pure substance.
For example:Hydrogen, Water etc., are pure.
Note:All elements and compounds are considered to be pure.
 
Question : List the points of differences between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.
Answer :  Homogeneous mixture
Its constituent’s particles cannot be seen easily. 
There are no visible boundaries of separation in a homogeneous mixture.
Its constituents cannot be easily separated.
Examples: Alloys, solution of salt in water etc.
Heterogeneous mixture
Its constituent particles can be seen easily.
Have visible boundaries of separation between the constituents.
Its constituents can be separated by simple methods.
Examples: Mixture of sand and common salt, mixture of sand and water etc.
 
Question : Differentiate between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture with example.
Answer : Same as above answer.
 
Question : How are sol, solution and suspension different from each other?
Answer : Solution or true solution is homogeneous.
NO Tyndall effect.
Solute particles cannot be filtered by using a filter paper
True solution is transparent.
Examples: Sea water, alloys, solution of lemon juice in water etc.
Sol (colloidal solution) :
Sol or colloidal solution is heterogeneous.
Tyndall effect.
Cannot be separated by ordinary filter paper.
It may be transparent or translucent.
Examples: Milk of magnesia, cough syrup, mist, fog, clouds, smoke, mud etc.
Suspension :
Suspension is also heterogeneous.
Tyndall effect.
It may be transparent or translucent.
Separated easily by filter paper.(because of large particles)
Examples: Mixture of sand in water, mixture of chalk in water.
 
Question : To make a saturated solution, 36 g of sodium chloride is dissolved in 100 g of water at 293 K. Find its concentration at this temperature.
Answer : Mass of sodium chloride (solute) = 36 g
Mass of water (solvent) = 100 g
We know that, mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent
= 36 g+ 100 g= 136 g
Concentration (mass percentage) of the solution
= Mass of Solute/Mass of Solution x 100 
=36g/ 136 g x 100 = 26.47% 
 
Question : How will you separate a mixture containing kerosene and petrol (difference in their boiling points is more than 25°C), which are miscible with each other?
Answer :  Simple distillation is the method which can separate the mixture of kerosene and petrol (b.p. differ by more than 25°C).
Method:In a distillation flask, a mixture of kerosene and petrol is taken as shown in figure. The mixture is heated slowly and the temperature is recorded with the help of thermometer. Petrol
(b.p. = 70° C to 1200 ° C) vaporizes first and the temperature becomes constant for some time (till all petrol evaporates from the mixture).
Vapours of petrol are condensed and collected in another container while the kerosene remains in the distillation flask. As soon as the temperature starts’ rising again, the heating is stopped and both the components are collected separately.
 
Question : Name the technique to separate
(i) Butter from curd
(ii) Salt from sea water
(iii) Camphor from salt
Answer : (i) By using centrifugation method, butter can be separated from curd.
(ii) By using evaporation method, salt from sea water can be separated . Water vaporises on evaporation leaving behind the salt.
(iii) Camphor from salt can be separated by sublimation method. On subliming camphor will be converted into vapour leaving behind the salt.
 
Question : What types of mixtures are separated by the technique of crystallisation?
Answer : Crystallisation method can be used for the purification of those mixtures which Contain insoluble and/or soluble impurities. Have crystalline nature.
Cannot be separated by filtration as some impurities are soluble.

(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 :  (a) Mass of potassium nitrate needed to produce its saturated solution in 100 g of water at 313 K = 62 g
Mass of potassium nitrate needed to produce its saturated solution in 50 g of water at 313 
K = 62/ 100 x 50g = 31g
(b) Crystals of potassium chloride are formed. This happens as solubility of solid decreases with decreasing the temperature.

Potassium chloride 35 g per 100 g water
Ammonium chloride 37 g per 100 g water
 
Note:Solubility of a solid is that amount in gram which can be dissolved in 100 g of water (solvent) to make saturated solution at a particular temperature.
Ammonium chloride has the maximum solubility (37 g per 100 g of water) at 293 K.
 
(d) Solubility of a (solid) salt decreases with decrease in temperature while it increases with rise in temperature.
 
Question : Explain the following giving examples.
(a) Saturated solution
(b) Pure substance
(c) Colloid
(d) Suspension
Answer : (a) Saturated solution:A solution in which no more amount of solute can be dissolved at a particular temperature is called saturated solution.
Example: when sugar is dissolved repeatedly in a given amount of water, a condition is reached at which further dissolution of sugar is not possible in that amount of water at room temperature.
(b) Pure substance: A substance made up of single type of particles (atoms and/or molecules) is called pure substance. All elements and compounds are said to be pure, Example: water, sugar etc.
(c) Colloid:A heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particle size is too small to be seen with the naked eye, but is big enough to scatter light is known as Colloid. There are two phases in colloidal solution Dispersed phase: solute particles are said to be dispersed phase
Dispersion medium: the medium in which solute particles are spread is called the dispersion medium.
Example: Milk, clouds etc., are the example of colloid.
(d) Suspension: A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve but remain suspended throughout the bulk of the medium. Particles of suspension are visible to the naked eye.
Example: Mixture of sand, Water and Muddy water etc.

Question : Which of the following materials fall in the category of a "pure substance"?
(a) Ice (b) Milk (c) Iron
(d) Hydrochloric acid (e) Calcium oxide (f) Mercury
(g) Brick (h)Wood (i) Air
