Answer:
Water is universal solvent : Water dissolves many substances forming aqueous solutions. Not only solids, but gases and other liquids also dissolve in water. When water is put in the glass vessel an extremely small amount of glass dissolves in it. Organic compounds [carbohydrates, proteins] also dissolve in water. Hence water is called universal solvent.

  • Unsaturated : solution can dissolve more solute at a given temperature.
  • Supersaturated : Solution which has more solute than its saturated sol. at that temperature.

Question 8.

How would you convert a saturated solution to an unsaturated solution and vice versa.
Answer:

  • A saturated solution can be made unsaturated by adding more of solvent.
  • An unsaturated solution can be made saturated by adding more of solute.

Question 9.

Define solubility. Give the main steps with the calculations involved of the method to determine the solubility of a given salt ‘X’ in water.
Answer:
Solubility : “The maximum amount of a SOLUTE which can be dissolved in 100 grams of a solvent at a specified temperature is called Solubility.
To Determine The Solubility Of ‘X’ In Water :
Steps :
(i) Preparation of saturated solution of ‘X’

  1. Take 100 ml of distilled water in a boiling test tube.
  2. Add crystals of ‘X’ to distilled water and stir slowly.
  3. Continue adding and ktirring till the crystals dissolve. Repeat the process till no more salt can dissolve.
  4. Pour the saturated solution — in a clean dry test-tube.

Steps :
(ii) Calculations To Determine Solubility Of Solute :

  1. Weigh a clean and dry vaporating dish = M1g
  2. Add above saturated solution to it and weigh = M2g
    ∴ Weight of solution (solute + solvent water) = (M2 – M1) g
  3. Heat the solution to dryness and weigh the dish with residue = M3g
    Weight of solute = (M3 – M1) g
    weight of solvent (water) = M2 – M3 = solution – solute (M2 – M1) = (M3 – M1) = M2 – M1 – M3 + M1
  4. Note the temperature of saturated solution = t° C

Question 12.

Give the influence of

  1. pressure
  2. temperature on the solubility of gases in water.

Answer:
Influence on solubility of gases :

  1. Pressure : “is directly proportional to pressure” at a given temperature. Solubility of gases increases with increase in pressure and decreases with decrease in pressure.
  2. Temperature : “is inversely proportional to temperature”, i.e. increase in temperature of water causes decrease in solubility of gases. At low, temperature the solubility of the gas is more compared to higher or ordinary temperature.

Question 13.

State the reasons why

  1. boiled water tastes flat
  2. a soda water bottle opens with a ‘fizz’.

Answer:

  1. Boiled Water Tastes Flat : Soluble gases in water contribute to the taste of water.
    When water is boiled Solubility Of Gases decrease and gases conic out of water and water tastes flat.
  2. Soda Water Bottle Opens With A ‘Fizze’.
    An unopened soda bottle is virtually bubble-free because the pressure inside the bottle keeps the carbon dioxide dissolved in the liquid. When you crack open the bottle, and allow the gas bubbles to wiggle the pressure is released and allow the gas bubbles to wiggle free from the liquid and rise to the surface.

Question 14.

What is meant by the terms :

(a) crystal,
(b) crystallization,
(c) seed crystal.

Explain with examples
Answer:

(c) Seed crystal : “A well-formed crystal from the cooled filtrate of saturated solution used as seed for the formation (growing) of large sized crystal is called SEED CRYSTAL.”
e.g. a large size crystal of potassium nitrate is prepared from saturated solution of KNO3 saturated solution.

Question 15.

Define the term ‘water of crystallization’.
Answer:
Water Of Crystallization : “Is The Fixed Number Of Water Molecules Which Enter Into A Loose Chemical Combination With The Substance When The Substance Is Crystallized From Its Hot Saturated Solution, Is Called Water Of Crystallization.”

Question 17.

Washing soda and iron [III] chloride are separately exposed to the atmosphere. State

Would a similar phenomenon occur in case of exposure of common salt. Explain giving reasons.
Answer:
Observations When Exposed To Atmosphere :

(b) Becomes amorphous
(c) Coated with white powder

(ii) Iron (III) Chloride (FeCl2)
Absorbs moisture from atmsophere dissolves in moisture changes to Liquid state
(iii) In case of washing soda — the phenomenon is Efflorescence.
In case of FeCl3 it is Deliquescence
No, in case of common salt (NaCl) no such phenomenon can occur as, it is Anhydrous salt and does not contain water of crystallization.
When common salt contains impurities of calcium or magnesium chloride dilquescent it absorbs moisture from atmosphere and become sticky and wet.

Question 18.

Why is fused calcium chloride and not potassium chloride kept in a desiccator?
Answer:
Fused Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) Is Deliquescent in nature, absorbs moisture and hence is used as Drying Agent in desiccator for drying other substances in the laboratory but KCl (potassium chloride) has no such property and cannot be used.

Question 19.

How does fused calcium chloride differ from iron [III] chloride when exposed to the atmosphere?
Answer:
Fused CaCl2 is Hygroscopic substance, absorbs moisture from atmosphere like FeCl3 but does not change its state. FeCl3 on absorbing moisture changes to Liquid State.

Question 20.

Cone. H2SO4 acts as a ‘drying agent’ & a ‘dehydrating agent’. Explain and differentiate the words in italics.
Answer:
Cone. H2SO4 when acts as drying agent, it absorbs only moisture from the substance and makes it dry without changing its composition.
When cone. H2SO4 acts as dehydrating agent, it removes water molecule from the composition of substance and reacts chemically, produces a new substance with new properties.

Question 31.

State what are synthetic detergents. Explain experimentally how you will determine the advantage of synthetic detergents over soap using a sample of hard water.
Answer:
Divide the sample of hard water into two parts.
To the first part of hard water add synthetic detergent and rub slowly with hand, it will lather easily.
Now add to the second part of hard water an ordinary piece of soap and rub with hand, it will not lather but scum is formed and soap is wasted.
