Q.12. You are given two samples of water labelled as ‘A’ and ‘B’. Sample ‘A’ boils at 100 °C and sample ‘B’ boils at 102 °C. Which sample of water will not freeze at 0 °C? Comment.
Ans.
Sample 'B' will not freeze at 0°C as it is impure water because it boils at 102°C. Therefore, it will freeze below 0°C.

Q.13. What are the favourable qualities given to gold when it is alloyed with copper or silver for the purpose of making ornaments?

Long Answer Type Questions

Q.1. Fractional distillation is suitable for separation of miscible liquids with a boiling point difference of about 25 K or less. What part of fractional distillation apparatus makes it efficient and possess an advantage over a simple distillation process. Explain using a diagram.
Ans.
Fractionating column packed with glass beads gives the effect of repeated distillation. It provides surface for vapours to come in contact with glass beads and lose energy so that they can condense easily and get distilled. The effectiveness increases with increase in length and number of glass beads in the fractionating column.

Q.5. A group of students took an old shoe box and covered it with a black paper from all sides.They fixed a source of light (a torch) at one end of the box by making a hole in it and made another hole on the other side to view the light. They placed a milk sample contained in a beaker/tumbler in the box as shown in the figure. They were amazed to see that milk taken in the tumbler was illuminated. They tried the same activity by taking a salt solution but found that light simply passed through it?
