A

Fractional distillation

38
Q

__________ is the process in which the particles of a substance is concentrated only at the surface of another substance

A

Adsorption

39
Q

_______ is the process in which the substance is uniformly distributed throughout the bulk of another substance.

A

Absorption

40
Q

________ is also a separation technique. It is used to separate different components of a mixture based on their different solubilities in the same solvent

A

Chromatography

41
Q

____ method is used to separate the different coloured dyes in a sample of ink

A

Paper chromatography

42
Q

The black ink separates into its constituent dyes. As the solvent moves up the paper, the dyes are carried with it and begin to separate.

A

They separate because they have different solubility in the solvent and are adsorbed to different extents by the chromatography paper.

43
Q

The chromatogram shows that the black ink contains ____ dyes.

A

three

44
Q

_____ is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. In a solution, the component present in lesser amount by weight is called ____ and the component present in larger amount by weight is called ______.

solvent

45
Q

Based on the particle size of the substance, the solutions are divided into ______ types

A

three

Colloidal
Suspension

Q

In the case of starch and water we get a cloudy mixture. This mixture is called as

Q

In the case of wheat flour mixed with water we get a very turbid mixture and fine particles slowly settle down at the bottom after some time. This mixture is called as .

A

suspension

49
Q

What are the differences between True solutions, colloids and suspensions?

A

The major difference is the particle size. In fact interconversions of these mixtures are possible by varying the particle sizes by certain chemical and physical methods.

50

heterogeneous

51
Q

There are _____ different combinations possible in colloidal solution

A

8

52

Q

Brownian movement of particles is due to the _______ of the particles by the molecules of dispersion medium

unbalanced bombardment

Google***
The Brownian movement has a stirring effect which does not permit the particles to settle and thus, is responsible for the stability of sols.
