Question 5

What is the main reason that suspensions can be separated through filtration?

Accepted Answer

Suspensions contain larger particles that do not pass through the filter.

Answer

Suspensions have a lower density than liquids

Answer

Suspensions are always clear

Answer

Suspensions are composed only of gases

Question 6

Which statement is true about solutions?

Accepted Answer

Solutions are clear and do not separate upon standing.

Answer

Solutions always have a color

Answer

Solutions contain large undissolved particles

Answer

Solutions settle into layers over time

Question 7

What happens to a beam of light when it passes through a solution?

Accepted Answer

It passes through clearly without scattering.

Answer

It is completely absorbed.

Answer

It reflects off the surface.

Answer

It scatters in different directions.

Question 8

What is the main characteristic of a solution compared to a suspension?

Accepted Answer

A solution is homogeneous, while a suspension is heterogeneous.

Answer

A solution can settle out when left undisturbed.

Answer

A solution has larger particles than a suspension.

Answer

A solution can be separated by filtration.

Question 9

How can you determine if a mixture is a solution or a suspension by observing a beam of light?

Accepted Answer

If the light beam passes through without visible scattering, it is a solution.

Answer

If the light beam is completely blocked, it is a solution.

Answer

If the light beam bends, it is a suspension.

Answer

If the light beam spreads out and is scattered, it is a solution.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Suspension.

Answer

Solution.

Answer

Colloid.

Answer

Emulsion.

Question 11

What is the Tyndall effect?

Accepted Answer

The scattering of light by particles in a colloid or suspension.

Answer

The absorption of light by liquids.

Answer

The reflection of light off a surface.

Answer

The bending of light when passing through a prism.

Question 12

What happens when a beam of light passes through a colloid?

Accepted Answer

The light is scattered, making the beam visible.

Answer

The light is absorbed completely.

Answer

The light beam reflects back entirely.

Answer

The light beam passes straight without any disturbance.

Question 13

Which of the following methods can be used to separate a suspension?

Accepted Answer

Filtration.

Answer

Chromatography.

Answer

Distillation.

Answer

Evaporation.

Question 14

What is an example of a common suspension?

Accepted Answer

Mud in water.

Answer

Saltwater.

Answer

Rubbing alcohol.

Answer

Sugar water.

Question 15

What visual effect might indicate the presence of a suspension when light passes through it?

Accepted Answer

The light beam becomes visible and scattered.

Answer

The light beam travels straight without any change.

Answer

The light beam disappears completely.

Answer

The light beam changes color as it goes through.

Answer

Using a wider container

Answer

Adding more sugar

Question 20

What effect does stirring a solution have on its solubility?

Accepted Answer

It increases the rate of solubility

Answer

It decreases the temperature of the solution

Answer

It makes the solvent denser

Answer

It prevents solute from dissolving

Question 21

What happens to the solubility of most solids in water as the temperature increases?

Accepted Answer

It increases

Answer

It decreases

Answer

It becomes unpredictable

Answer

It stays the same

Question 22

What is the effect of pressure on the solubility of gases in liquids?

Accepted Answer

Increasing pressure increases gas solubility

Answer

Only temperature affects gas solubility

Answer

Increasing pressure decreases gas solubility

Answer

Pressure has no effect on gas solubility
