3. Solid in solid – Alloys
4. Gas in gas – He – O₂ gas

Question 4.
What is the aqueous and non-aqueous solution? Give an example.
Answer:
Aqueous solution: The solution in which water act as a solvent is called aqueous solution. In general, ionic compounds are soluble in water and form aqueous solutions more readily than covalent compounds. E.g. Common salt in water.

Non – Aqueous solution: The solution in which any liquid, other than water act as a solvent is called non-aqueous solution. Alcohols, benzene, ethers, etc., are used as non – aqueous solvents. E.g. Sulphur dissolved in carbon disulphide.

Question 5.

Answer:
Volume percentage is defined as the percentage by volume of solute (in ml) present in the given volume of solution.

Question 6.
The aquatic animals live more in a cold region. Why?
Answer:
Aquatic animals live more in cold regions because the solubility of oxygen is more in cold water (at low temperature). Therefore, aquatic animals are more comfortable in cold water.

Question 7.

Answer:
Ionic substances which crystallise out from their saturated aqueous solution with a definite number of molecules of water are called hydrated salts.

Question 8.
A hot saturated solution of copper sulphate forms crystals as it cools. Why?
Answer:
The capability of a solution to maintain a certain concentration of solute is temperature-dependent. When a saturated solution of copper sulphate at above room temperature is allowed to cool, the solution becomes supersaturated and in the absence of stirring or the return of the previous solution temperature, the solute starts to precipitate out. i.e., crystal formation occurs.

Question 9.

Answer:

VI. Long answer questions:

Question 1.
Write notes on?

1. saturated solution
2. unsaturated solution

Answer:

1. Saturated solution: A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in a definite amount of the solvent at a given temperature is called saturated solution, e.g. 36 g of sodium chloride in 100 g of water at 25°C forms a saturated solution.
2. Unsaturated solution: Unsaturated solution is one that contains less solute than that of the saturated solution at a given temperature, e.g. 10 g or 20 g or 30 g of Sodium chloride in 100 g of water at 25°C forms an unsaturated solution.

Question 2.
Write notes on various factors affecting solubility.
Answer:
There are three main factors which affects the solubility of a solute. They are

1. Nature of the solute and solvent
2. Temperature
3. Pressure

1. Nature of the solute and solvent : The nature of the solute and solvent plays an important role in solubility. Even though water is Universal solvent, all substances do not dissolve in water. Dissolution occurs when similarities exist between the solvent and the solute.

Ionic compounds are soluble in polar solvent like water and covalent compounds are soluble in non-polar solvents like ether, benzene, alcohol etc.

2. Effect of Temperature :
Solubility of solid in liquid : Generally solubility of a solid solute in a liquid increases with increase in temperature.
In Endothermic process : Solubility increases with increase in temperature.
In Exothermic process : Solubility decreases with increase in temperature.
Solubility of Gases in liquid : Solubility of gases in liquid decreases with increase in temperature.

3. Effect of Pressure : Effect of pressure is observed only in the case of solubility of a gas in a liquid. When the pressure is increased, the solubility of a gas in liquid increases.

Question 3.
(a) What happens when MgSO₄.7H₂O is heated? Write the appropriate equation
(b) Define solubility.
Answer:
(a) When Epsom salt MgSO₄.7H₂O crystals are gently heated, it loses seven water molecules and becomes anhydrous MgSO₄.

(b) Solubility is defined as the amount of solute in grams that can be dissolved in 100 g of the solvent to form its saturated solution at a given temperature and pressure.

Question 4.

Answer:
Volume of ethanol = 3.5 lit = 3500 ml
Volume of water = 15 lit = 15000 ml

VII. HOT Questions

Question 1.
Vinu dissolves 50 g of sugar in 250 ml of hot water, Sarath dissolves 50 g of same sugar in 250 ml of cold water. Who will get a faster dissolution of sugar? and Why?
Answer:
Vinu will get a faster dissolution of sugar. Because generally solubility of a solid solute in a liquid solvent increases with increase in temperature. Therefore Vinu dissolves 50 g of sugar in 250 ml of hot water than Sarath dissolves 50 g of sugar in 250 ml of cold water.

Question 2.
‘A’ is a blue coloured crystalline salt. On heating it loses blue colour and to give ‘B’ When water is added, ‘B’ gives back to ‘A’. Identify A and B, write the equation.
Answer:
Since ‘A’ is a blue coloured crystalline salt, it is CuSO₄. 5H₂O (Blue vitriol). On heating it loses all five water molecules and becomes colourless anhydrous CuSO₄.

When water is added ‘B’ gives back A.

Question 3.
Will the cool drinks give more fizz at top of the hills or at the foot? Explain.
Answer:
At hilltops, the temperature will become less and pressure also decreases. Because temperature and pressure are directly proportional to each other. At low-pressure carbonate, cool drinks will give less fizz and give more fizz at the foot.

Answer the blanks given in the table.
Answer:

Question 2.
Write a note on the type of solution based on the type of solvent.
Answer:
(i) Aqueous solution : The solution in which water acts as a solvent is called aqueous solution. In general, ionic compounds are soluble in water and form aqueous solutions more readily than covalent compounds.
Eg: Common salt in water, Sugar in water, Copper sulphate in water etc..

(ii) Non-Aqueous solution : The solution in which any liquid, otter than water, acts as a solvent is called non-aqueous solution. Solvent other than water is referred to as non-aqueous solvent.

2. What happens to the solubility in the exothermic process with regard to temperature?
3. In the endothermic process, solubility increases with increase in temperature.
4. At a given temperature, an increase in pressure increases the solubility of the gas

Answer:

1. In an exothermic process, the solubility decreases. When calcium oxide dissolves in water, an exothermic reaction takes place, and so the solubility of calcium oxide decreases
2. In an exothermic process, the solubility decreases with the increase in temperature, as there is already an evolution of heat and it is observed.
3. In an endothermic process, the solubility increases. The solubility of KNO₃ in water is an endothermic reaction and so solubility increases with the increase of temperature.
4. At a given temperature, an increase in pressure increases the solubility of gas according to Henry’s law. e.g. (CO₂ in soft drinks)
