Question 6.

strongly?
Answer:
Action of heat on copper (11) sulphate crystals
When copper () sulphate crystals are heated in a hard glass test tube, the following observations are observed:
Solution in which some solute separates on cooling slightly is a super saturated Solution.
Question 11.
What is the effect of pressure on solubility of gases? Explain with an example.
Answer:
With an increase in pressure, the solubility of a gas in water increases.
With an increase in temperature, the solubility of a gas in water decreases.
For example, the solubility of carbon dioxide in water under normal atmospheric pressure is low, but when the water surface is
subjected to higher pressure, a lot more of CO2 gas gets dissolved in it.
Similarly, in case of soda water, on opening the bottle, the dissolved gas rapidly bubbles out because the pressure on the
surface of the water suddenly decreases.

(d) Whena substance absorbs moisture from the atmosphere but does not form a Solution.
(e) When a compound loses its water of crystallisation on exposure to dry air.

Question 3.
Give three factors which affect the solubility of a
solid solute in a solvent.
Answer:
Three factors on which the solubility of a solid
depend:
(b) A Solution is always clear and transparent.
(c) Lakes and rivers do not suddenly freeze in the winters.
(d) The solute cannot be separated from a Solution by filtration.
(e) Fused CaCl, or conc. H,SO4 is used in a desiccator.
(f) Effervescence is seen on opening a bottle of soda water.
(g) Table salts become sticky on exposure to humid air during the rainy season.
Answer:
(a) Water is an excellent liquid to use in cooling systems because of its high specific heat.
(b) A water-soluble solid disappears in a Solution where the solvent is water, and water has the property of being clear and
transparent. So, the Solution is also clear and transparent.
(c) Lakes and rivers do not freeze suddenly in winters
because of the high specific latent heat of solidification, i.e. the amount of heat released when 1 g of water solidifies to form 1
g of ice at 0°C. It is about 336 J/g or 80 cal/g.
(d) The component which dissolves in a solvent is known as a solute. So, it cannot be separated from a Solution by filtration.
However, filtration is used when the solute is insoluble in the Solution.
(e) Fused CaCl2 or concentrated H2SO4 is deliquescent in nature, i.e. it absorbs moisture, and hence, these are used in
desiccators as drying agents.
(t) Carbon dioxide is dissolved in soda water under pressure. On opening the bottle, the pressure on the surface of water
suddenly decreases; therefore, the solubility of CO, in water decreases and the gas rapidly bubbles out.
(g) Table salt becomes sticky on exposure during the rainy season, because it generally contains a small percentage of
magnesium chloride and calcium chloride as impurities. These impurities absorb moisture from the monsoon air due to their
deliquescent nature, and thus, table salt become sticky.
