Sublimation is the process of transition of a substance from the solid to the gaseous state without passing through the liquid state. To separate mixtures that contain a sublimate with volatile component from a non-sublimate impurity, the sublimation process is used. Ammonium chloride changes directly from solid to gaseous state on heating. The gaseous form of ammonium chloride can be cooled easily to get a pure solid. Other examples of solids which sublime are camphor, naphthalene, anthracene, iodine, etc. The remaining components of the mixture are salt and sand. Salt is soluble in water and sand is a non-water soluble substance that can be separated by the process of filtration. The insoluble sand remains in the filter paper while the filtrate contains the dissolved salt. Evaporation technique is used to separate salt from the filtrate. Common salt does not decompose during evaporation. As the water evaporates, fewer and fewer water molecules are present to keep the salt particles apart. The salt therefore recrystallizes and can be collected.

(b) water and acetone mixture
Give reasons for your answer.
A separating funnel is used for the separation of components of a mixture between two immiscible liquid phases. One phase is the aqueous phase and the other phase is an organic solvent.

With the help of a labelled diagram, describe the method of separating ammonium chloride from a mixture of ammonium chloride and common salt. Mention the difference in the properties of ammonium chloride and sodium chloride which has made this separations possible.
There are many substances which are converted into gas from solid when heated, and converted from gas to solid when cooled without converting into liquid. Such substances are known as sublime. For example – ammonium chloride, naphthalene balls, camphor, etc. Therefore, mixture of one sublime and other substance can be separated using the method of sublimation.
The mixture of ammonium chloride and common salt can be separated out using the process of sublimation. For this, the mixture is heated in a China dish. The China dish is covered by an inverted funnel. Cotton is used for plugging the opening of the funnel. After heating, ammonium chloride is converted into vapour and gets deposited over the inner surface of funnel; due to cooling. This leaves the common salt in China dish. Ammonium chloride can be taken out by scratching from the inner wall of funnel.
The process of sublimation is used to separate that component of a solid-solid mixture which sublimes on heating. Hence the property of ammonium chloride to sublime has made this separations possible.
How can you obtain pure water from a salt-water mixture (or salt-solution)? Draw a meat and labelled diagram of the apparatus you would use to obtain pure water from a salt-water mixture (or salt-solution).
The solution of common salt and water is taken in a china dish and heated gently by using a burner. The water present in salt solution will form water vapours and escape into atmosphere. When all the water present in the solution of common salt and water gets evaporated, then common salt is left behind in the china dish as a white solid.
The process of evaporation is used on a large scale to obtain common salt from sea water. Evaporation is used for recovering dissolved solid substances from liquid mixtures but the liquid itself cannot be recovered by this method.
How is water purified on a large scale at water works? Explain with the help of a labelled diagram. Name the substance which is added to kill germs in the drinking water supply?
Process of water purification on a large scale at water works-
1). Sedimentation:
Water pumped from the source (river, lake or dam) is allowed to stand in large tanks, called settling tanks, for a few hours. Mud, sand and other suspended particles settle down. The addition of a small quantity of potash alum helps the suspended particles to settle down quickly. The solid that settles at the bottom of the tank is called sediment. That is why these tanks are also called sedimentation tanks. The water over the sediment layer is more or less clean.
2). Filtration:
The water from the sedimentation tank is filtered through layers of sand and gravel. Filtration is also done through activated charcoal, which affords better-quality water. Activated charcoal is a special type of charcoal made by heating ordinary charcoal in vacuum. This charcoal holds the impurities strongly.
3). Chlorination:
The filtered water is then treated with chlorine gas, which kills germs.
Process of adding chlorine (Cl) or hypochlorite to water ensures the killing of germs. This method is used to kill certain bacteria and other microbes in tap water as chlorine is highly toxic. In particular, chlorination is used to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, typhoid etc.
What is fractional distillation? What is the use of fractionating column in fractional distillation?
Fractional distillation is the process of separating two or more miscible liquids by distillation. The distillate being collected in fractions boiling at different temperatures. The separation of two liquids by fractional distillation depends on the differences in their boiling points. A simple Fractionating column is a long vertical glass tube filled with glass beads. It can be regarded as an arrangement for providing different temperature zones inside it, the highest temperature being at the bottom of the column and lowest temperature near its top. The Fractionating column is fitted in the neck of the distillation flask containing the mixture of liquids to be separated.
Draw a labelled diagram of the fractional distillation apparatus used for separating a mixture of alcohol and water.
The boiling point of alcohol is 78°C and boiling point of water is 100°C therefore a mixture of alcohol and water can be separated by fractional distillation. The alcohol with boiling point 78°C will distil first and then water with boiling point 100°C will distil later. Fractional distillation separates the various liquids according to their boiling point, the more volatile liquid (having lower boiling point) distils first and the less volatile liquid (having higher boiling point) distils later.
Explain how, nitrogen, oxygen and argon gases are separated form air.
Air comprises of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and argon as major components. Since air is the cheapest source of these gases, thus these are extracted from air at large scale. After liquefaction of air by repeated compression and cooling; nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and argon are extracted using fractional distillation. Liquid nitrogen has boiling point equal to - 196⁰C and thus turns into gas first and separated from air. The boiling point of argon is - 186⁰C, therefore it is extracted after argon. The boiling point of oxygen is - 183⁰C, thus it is collected after the extraction of argon. Carbon dioxide turns into solid at a temperature of - 97⁰C, therefore, it is removed while air is put under liquefaction.
Draw a flow diagram of the processes involved in obtaining gases like nitrogen, oxygen and argon from air.

= 5.6 + 75 = 80.6ml
Volume percentage of solution = Volume of solute /Volume of solvent x 100%
= 5.6/80.6 x 100 = 6.9%
If 25 mL of acetone is present in 150 mL of its aqueous solution, calculate the concentration of solution.

When a beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution such as a soap solution, it scatters a beam of light passing through it and renders its path visible.
How will you distinguish a colloid from a solution?
We can distinguish between colloids and true solutions by using Tindall effect. If the solution scatters a beam of light passing through it and renders its path visible, will be a colloid.
The solution which does not scatter a beam of light passing through it and does not render its path visible, will be a true solution.
How will you differentiate between a suspension and a colloid?
it is due to the small size of their solute particles that a colloid easily pass through the pores of a filter paper whereas it is because of the bigger size of the solute particles of a suspension that they cannot pass through the pores of a filter paper and are retained on the filter paper in the form of a residue. Only the solvent of a suspension passes through the filter paper.
