Question
A solid mixture contains four constituents P, Q, R and S. P consists of tiny grains and it is mixed with
cement for plastering the walls. Q is a white solid which is recovered on a large scale from sea water by the
process of evaporation. R is in the form of tiny particles of a material whose corrosion is called rusting. And
S is a white solid which is used in making ordinary dry cells.
- What could P, Q, R and S be ?
- How would you separate a mixture containing P, Q, R and S ?
Solution
- P consists of tiny grains and it is mixed with cement for plastering the walls. So, P is sand. Q is a white solid, which is recovered on a large scale from sea water by the process of evaporation. It is common salt. R is in the form of tiny particles of materials, whose corrosion is called rusting. It is, iron filings. S is ammonium chloride.
- At first, let us take the mixture of P, Q, R, and S.
- We first separate R (iron filings) by using a magnet to attract them. Then separate S (ammonium chloride) by sublimation.
- Now, we shake P (sand) and Q (common salt) with water. The mixture is then filtered.
- Sand is obtained as residue.
- Now, we will evaporate the filtrate to dryness to obtain Q (common salt).

A, B and C are all liquids. Liquid A has a comparatively low boiling point. On heating, liquid A vaporises completely without leaving behind any residue. Liquid A is being used increasingly as a fuel in motor vehicles either alone or by mixing with petrol. Liquid B has a very high boiling point. It also vaporises completely on heating, without leaving any residue. Liquid B is a conductor of electricity and used in making thermometers. Liquid C has a moderate boiling point. On heating, liquid C vaporises leaving behind a white solid D which is used in cooking vegetables. The condensation of vapours from C give a liquid E which turns anhydrous CuSO4 to blue.
