Question 10. Why is crystallization better than evaporation?

Answer: Crystallization is a process that separates a pure solid in the form of its crystals from a solution. Crystallization is better than evaporation because during Evaporation

  • Some solids decompose or some, like sugar may get charred on heating to dryness.

  • Some impurities may remain dissolved in the solution even after filtration which on evaporation contaminates the solid.

Question 11. How will you separate a mixture of oil and water?

Answer: To separate a mixture of oil and water, we need a separating funnel as both are immiscible liquids. Pour the mixture in the separating funnel and let the funnel stand undisturbed for some time. So that separate layers of oil and water are formed. Open the stopcock of the separating funnel and pour out the lower layer of water carefully.

Question 12. A student is given a mixture of naphthalene ball’s powder and common salt. He needs to separate this mixture. How will he do this?

Answer: The properties of both naphthalene and common salt should be known, before we choose the separation technique.

Naphthalene is a sublimate which on heating changes to gaseous state directly. Hence to separate a volatile compound (sublimate) from a non-volatile compound (non-sublimate), the sublimation process is used.

ncert-solutions-for-class-9-science-is-matter-around-us-pure-10

In a China dish the mixture is kept, and is placed on a stand. An inverted funnel is kept over the mixture in a Chinese dish with a plugged stem. The sublimation on heating gets collected on the funnel and common salt remains in the China dish.

Question 13. How can we obtain different gasses from air?

Answer:

ncert-solutions-for-class-9-science-is-matter-around-us-pure-12

In filtration tank water passes through different layers of sand and gravel as shown in the above figure this is for adsorption of impurities.

The clear water reaches a chlorinated tank where water is mixed with bleaching powder/chlorine to kill bacteria and then supplied to houses.

Question 15. Why is air considered as a mixture and not compound?

Answer: Air is considered as a mixture because it exhibits following properties:

  1. Each component present in air retains its properties.

  2. Each component can be separated by simple physical processes.

  3. The components do not have any fixed proportion. All gasses are present in different amounts. Example, in a greener area—more oxygen and water vapor is present; near an industrial area—air consists of a lot of impurities and smoke suspended in it.

Question 16. How can you prove that water is a compound?

Answer: Water is a compound because if we pass electricity through it then at two different electrodes, we get two different gasses i.e., oxygen and hydrogen during electrolysis of water. The ratio of oxygen: hydrogen is 1 : 2 by the number of molecules.

  • The properties of oxygen and hydrogen gasses are entirely different from that of liquid water.

  • The ratio of oxygen: hydrogen combination is always constant i.e., 1: 2 by volume.

  • To separate the components of water, we need an electrolytic cell, and it is not a simple process.

Question 17. How can we convert saturated solution into unsaturated by heating?

Answer: Saturated solution is said to be saturated at a given temperature when there is no more scope of solute particles to dissolve /dissociate into water. It is because the solute particle has taken all the inter molecular space present in the solvent.

On heating, the molecules of solvent gain kinetic energy, start vibrating and try to move away from each other thereby accommodating some more solute particle in this space and hence it becomes an unsaturated solution.

Question 18. What is the difference between fog and smoke?

Answer: Fog is a colloidal solution with liquid dispersed in gas.

Smoke is a colloidal solution with solid dispersed in gas.

Question 19. If 20g of salt is present is 220 g of solution, calculate the concentration of solution:

Question 3. (a) Define a solution.

(b) Give different types of solutions with one example each.

Answer: (a) Solution: It is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. It consists of solute and solvent.

(b) Different types of solution:

(i) Based on solvent—Aqueous and non-aqueous Aqueous solution has water as solvent (sugar + water) Non-aqueous solution has some other solvent but not water. Example, (sulfur + carbon disulphide)

(ii) Depending on the amount of solute dissolved in solvent—Dilute solution and concentrated solution

Dilute solution—Less amount of solute particles are present in a solvent.

Concentrated solution—Amount of solute present in its maximum capacity in a solvent.

(iii) Amount of solute present in its maximum capacity at a given temperature—Saturated and unsaturated solution.

Saturated solution—It is a solution in which no more solute can further dissolve in a given solvent at a given temperature.

Unsaturated solution—It is a solution in which some more solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature.

(iv) Depending on the size of solute particles

Answer: After 1793, industrialization witnessed the disruptive effects of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Capital investment, infrastructure with new machinery and industrial output were affected significantly. Only after the 1820s did the productive investment improve and total output of industrial goods increase.   What were the relative advantages of canal and railway transportation? Answer: Canals were initially built to transport coal to cities. They made coal transportation faster and less expensive than by road. With the development of canals, many marketing centers emerged in new towns. The first steam locomotive was invented by Stephenson's Rocket in 1814. Railway transport was available throughout the year; it could carry passengers and move goods fast. The

Structure of Atom class9 CHEMISTRY MCQ & SAQ

  Structure of Atom class9 CHEMISTRY MCQ & SAQ Structure of Atom class9 CHEMISTRY NCERT SOLUTION: 1. What are canal rays?   Answer   Canal rays are positively charged radiations that can pass through a perforated cathode plate. These rays consist of positively charged particles known as protons.   2. If an atom contains one electron and one proton, will it carry any charge or not?   Answer   An electron is a negatively charged particle, whereas a proton is a positively charged particle. The magnitude of their charges is equal. Therefore, an atom containing one electron and one proton will not carry any charge. Thus, it will be a neutral atom.   Page No: 49   1. On the basis of Thomson's model of an atom, explain how the atom is neutral as a whole.   Answer   As per Thomson’s model of the atom, an atom consists of both negative and positive charges which are equal in number and magnitude. So, they balance each other as a result of which the atom as a whole is electrically neutra

Poverty as a Challenge class 9 Economics MCQ & SAQ

  Poverty as a Challenge class 9 Economics MCQ & SAQ Poverty as a Challenge class 9 Economics NCERT SOLUTION: Q.1. Describe how the poverty line is estimated in India. Ans. The poverty line is estimated based on consumption levels in India. A person has basic needs which include the minimum level of food, clothing, educational and medical needs; etc.  These minimum consumptions are then calculated in Rupees and total becomes the minimum income required to fulfill basic needs. A person is considered poor if their income level falls below the minimum level necessary to fulfill basic needs. Q.2. Do you think that the present methodology of poverty estimation is appropriate? Ans. The present methodology of poverty estimation takes into account a minimum subsistence level of living rather than a reasonable level of living.  A person is considered poor if his or her income or consumption level falls below a given minimum level necessary to fulfill basic needs.  While ensuring the mini
