Matter

Very Short Questions

1.     What is matter?
Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.

2.     Define mixture.
Mixture is the combination of two or more than two things together.

3.     Name two types of mixtures.
The two types of mixtures are:
i) Homogeneous mixture
ii) Heterogeneous mixture

4.     What is evaporation?
Evaporation is the process of changing liquid into vapour (gas).

5.     What is distillation?
Distillation is a method of separating a mixture by evaporation followed by condensation.

6.     What is chromatography?
Chromatography is a method of separating the different components of a mixture based on their different rates of movement through a medium.

7.     What is centrifuging?
Centrifuging is a method of separating heavy and light particles of a mixture by rotating it at high speed.

8.     Define a solution.
A solution is a homogeneous mixture that is formed when one substance (solute) completely dissolves in another substance (solvent).
OR,
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.

9.     Give an example of a solution.
An example of a solution is salt solution (salt + water).

10.  Define a suspension.
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which insoluble solid particles are dispersed in a liquid and can settle down.

11.  Give an example of a suspension.
An example of a suspension is muddy water.

12.  Define a colloid.
A colloid is a mixture in which very small particles of one substance are dispersed in another substance and do not easily settle down.

13.  How can you separate a mixture of salt and water?
We can separate mixture of salt and water by evaporation.

14.  How can you separate cream from milk?
We can separate cream from milk by centrifuging method.

15.  Give an example of a suspension you encounter in daily life.
An example of a suspension we encounter in daily life is muddy water.

Short Questions

1.     Not necessary

2.     What type of mixture can be separated by distillation?
Mixture of liquids with different boiling points can be separated by distillation.

3.     How solution is formed?
Solution is formed when one substance is completely dissolved in another substance.

4.     What is homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture?
A mixture in which the components are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture is called a homogeneous mixture.
A mixture in which the components are not uniformly distributed throughout the mixture is called a heterogeneous mixture.

5.     Differentiate between evaporation and distillation.
The differences between evaporation and distillation are:

Evaporation

Distillation

Evaporation is the process of changing liquid into vapour (gas) by heating.

Distillation is a method of separating a mixture of liquids based on a different boiling point.

The vapour is not collected.

The vapour is cooled and collected as liquid.

It does not require condenser.

It requires condenser.

Example: obtaining salt from salt water.

Example: obtaining pure water from salt water.

6.     Not necessary

7.     Write any three uses of mixture in our daily life.
The three uses of mixture in our daily life are:
i) Cooking foods
ii) Making medicines
iii) Making fertilizers

8.     Name the method of separation of mixture shown in the given figure. Write any two utilities of this method.


The method of separation of mixture shown in the given figure is Distillation. The two utilities of this method are:
i) Purification of water
ii) Production of alcoholic beverages

9.     Differentiate between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture.

Homogeneous mixture

Heterogeneous mixture

A mixture in which the components are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture is called a homogeneous mixture.

A mixture in which the components are not uniformly distributed throughout the mixture is called a heterogeneous mixture.

 

The components are generally not visible separately.

The components may be visible separately.

Example: Salt solution

Example: oil and water

10.  Why is solution of salt and water considered as homogeneous mixture?
A solution of salt and water is considered a homogeneous mixture because the salt dissolves completely in water and is uniformly distributed throughout the solution.

11.  Differentiate between centrifuging and chromatography.

Centrifuging

Chromatography

Centrifuging is a method of separating heavy and light particles of a mixture by rotating it at high speed.

Chromatography is a method of separating the different components of a mixture based on their different rates of movement through a medium.

It requires a centrifuge machine.

It commonly uses a paper or other stationary medium and a solvent.

 

Long Questions

1.     Draw a labelled diagram of distillation process used in laboratory.

2.     Identify the method of separation of separation of mixture shown in each of the given figure. Also, write utility of each.


Fig(a): Distillation
Fig(b): Centrifugation

The utilities of each are:
Distillation: It is used to purify water.
Centrifugation: It is used to separate cream from milk.
