Question $4 .$

How will you separate a mixture containing saw dust, naphthalene and iron filings?
Answer:
When a magnet is brought near the mixture containing saw dust naphthalene and iron filings, it attracts the iron filings. Thus iron filings are separated.
The mixture of naphthalene and saw dust are put in a china dish and covered with a perforated asbestos sheet. An inverted funnel is placed over the asbestos sheet.
The open end of the stem of the funnel is closed, using cotton wool. The china dish is heated. The pure vapours of naphthalene solid pass through the holes in the asbestos sheet and condense on the inner side of the funnel. The saw dust is left in the china dish.
 

Question $5 .$

Answer:

VII. Long Answer.
Question $1 .$
Write the differences between elements and compounds and give an example for each.
Answer:

Question $2 .$
Explain Tyndall effect and Brownian movement with suitable diagram. A.

Tyndall Effect:

When a strong beam of light is focused on a colloidal solution the path of the beam becomes visible. This phenomenon is called as Tyndall effect. The illuminated path is called Tyndall cone. This phenomenon is due to scattering of light by colloidal particles.

B. Brownian movement:

It is a kinetic property. When colloidal solution are viewed under powerful microscope, it can be seen that colloidal particles are moving constantly and rapidly in zig-zag directions. The Brownian movement of particles is due to the unbalanced bombardment of the particles by the molecules of dispersion medium.
 

Question $3 .$
How is a mixture of common salt, oil and water separated?
You can use a combination of different methods.
Answer:
The mixture of common salt, oil and water are taken in a beaker. The salt dissolves in water. Allow it to stand for a few minutes. The mixture of two immiscible liquids is separated by a separating funnel. The oil floats on top. The water can carefully be separated by opening the stopcock in the separating funnel. The oil is left behind in the separating funnel.

The salt water is heated slowly, in a distillation flask with a water condenser. The pure water vapour passes through the inner tube of the condenser.

The vapours on cooling condense into pure water and are collected in a receiver. The salt is left behind in the flask as a residue.

Activity
Question $1 .$

Answer:

Question $2 .$
Take some powdered iron filings and mix it with sulphur.

Iron + Sulphur $\stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow}$ Iron sulphide
We cannot separate iron from iron sulphide. So, it is a compound, whereas Iron and Sulphur are mixtures. We can separate it by magnetic separation method.

Question $4 .$
When does the pressure of the gas increase?
Answer:
When the volume of the gas decreases, the gas gets compressed. The particles of the gas have only lesser space to move around. So the particles start hitting on the walls of the container and the pressure of the gas increases.

V. Answer the following in detail.
Question $1 .$
Explain the factors, which will affect the rate of evaporation, taking examples from our daily life experiences.
Answer:
1. Temperature: Warmer the evaporation surface, the higher the rate of evaporation. In ponds, lakes and rivers, the rate of evaporation is more in sunny days.
2. Surface area: The evaporation increase, with the increase of surface area. Eg: The water kept in a saucer evaporates faster than the water kept in a glass.
3. Humidity: The amount of water vapour is high during rainy season. The air can hold little water. So it slows down the evaporation. So we sweat and perspire.
4. Wind: The evaporation is slow at low wind. Evaporation is faster at high wind. The particles of water move away, along with the particles of air at high wind. So the wet clothes dry faster on a windy day.
