Question 2.
Write the steps you would use for making tea. Use the words—solution, solvent, solute, dissolve, soluble, insoluble, filtrate and residue.
Answer:
Step 1 : Boil some water (solvent) in a pan.
Step 2 : Put some tea leaves (solute) in a tea pot.
Step 3 : Pour the boiling water into the pot and let it soak for a few minutes. It will form a solution.
Step 4 : Put sugar (solute) into a cup.
Step 5 : Stir the solution in the tea pot.
Step 6 : Use a strainer and pour the solution into the cup.

Put two teaspoons of milk. Remove the strainer and stir with a spoon. The tea is ready. The tea leaves (residue) will be left on the strainer while tea (filtrate) will pass thro’ugh the solution. Sugar and milk are soluble solutes while tea leaves are insoluble solute.

Bihar Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 2 Is Matter Around Us Pure – 3
(a) What mass of potassium nitrate would be needed to produce a saturated solution of potassium nitrate in 50 grams of water at 313 K ?
(b) Prag.ya makes a saturated solution of potassium chloride in water at 353 K and leaves the solution to cool at room temperature. What would she observe as the solution cools ? Explain.
(c) Find the solubility of each salt at 293 K. Which salt has the highest solubility at this temperature ?
(d) What is the effect of change of temperature on the solubility of a salt ?

Answer:
The maximum amount of a solute which can be dissolved in 100 grams of a solvent is known as the solubility of that solute in that solvent (at a specified temperature and pressure).
(a) At 313 K, 100 g of water can dissolve a maximum of 62 g of potassium nitrate.
At 313 K, 50 g of water will be able to dissolve a maximum of 31 g of potassium nitrate.
(b) Room temperature is taken as 20°G (approximately).
30°C – (20 + 273) K = 293 K

Bihar Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 2 Is Matter Around Us Pure
At 353 K, 100 g of water can dissolve a maximum of 54 g of potassium chloride whereas at 293 K, 100 g of water can dissolve a maximum of 35 g of potassium chloride. The solubility of solids in liquids decreases with the decrease in f temperature. Hence, powders of potassium chloride will start settling down.

(c) At 293 K,
Solubility of potassium nitrate = 32g
Solubility of sodium chloride = 36 g
Solubility of potassium cliloride = 35 g
Solubility of ammonium chloride =24g.
At 293 K, sodium chloride has the maximum solubility.

(d) (i) The solubility of solids il|..liquids increases on. increasing the temperature and decreases on decreasing the temperature.
(ii) The solubility of gases in liquids decreases ori increasing the temperature and increases on decreasing the temperature. _

Question 4.
Explain the following giving examples :
(a) Saturated solution
(b) Pure substance
(c) Colloid
(d) Suspension.

Answer:
(a) Saturated .solution – At atty particular temperature, a solution that has dissolved as much solute as it is capable of dissoving it, is said to be saturated solution. For example, heat about 100 ml of water in a beaker to about 25°C and dissolve sodium chloride in this water gradually, until no more sodium chloride goes into the v solution. Maintain the solution at 25°C in a water bath. The supernatent solution is the saturated solution of sodium chloride in water at 25°C.

(b) The substances which always have the same colour, taste or texture at a given temperature and pressure are pure substances. For example, distilled water.

Bihar Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 2 Is Matter Around Us Pure
(c) A heterogeneous mixture in which the size of the solute particles is between lnm (10-9m) and 100 nm (107m) is known as colloidal solution. For example; Milk, Gum, Jelly.

(d) A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve but remain suspended throughout the bulk of the medium. For example, muddy wtffer, saw dust – water mixture, chalk powder – water mixture, etc.

How can we obtain oxygen gas from air ?
Answer:
If we want oxygen gas from air (Fig. 2.10), we have to separate all the other gases present in the air.
