What is meant by a pure substance?
A pure substance is one which made up of only one kind of particle either atoms or molecules. For example, oxygen, carbon etc.
To make a saturated solution 36g of sodium chloride is dissolved in 100g of water at 293K. Find its concentration at this time temperature.
Mass of sodium chloride = 36g
Mass of water = 100g
Total mass of the solution = (36 + 100) g = 136g
Concentration (mass percentage) of solution = (Mass of NaCl )/(Mass of solution ) × 100
= 36g/(136g ) × 100
= 26. 47g

Why is it not possible to distinguish particles of a solute from the solvent in solution?
A true solution is homogenous in nature. The solute and solvent particles are very small. They cannot be distinguishing even under a microscope.
Explain why particles of a colloidal solution do not settle down when left undisturbed, while in the case of a suspension they do.
Particle size in a suspension is large than those in a colloidal solution. Also molecular interaction in a suspension is not strong enough to keep the particles suspended and hence they settle down.

Question
You are provided with a mixture containing sand, iron filings, ammonium chloride and sodium chloride. Describe the procedure you would use o separate these constituent from the mixture.
Answer
(i) Removing iron filings from the mixture by magnetic separation. Take the mixture in a Petri dish and roll a bar magnet over it. Iron filings will get attach to the magnet and thus separate from the mixture.
(ii) Removing ammonium chloride by sublimation
Transfer the remaining mixture into china dish and heat it. On heating, ammonium chloride sublime and solidifies on condensation. The mixture containing sand and sodium chloride left behind in the china dish.
(iii) Removing sand by filtration
Make a solution of sand and sodium chloride in water. Filter the solution. Sodium chloride will dissolve in water and sand is left as residue on the filter paper.
(iv) Evaporate the filtrate to dryness to get sodium chloride or by crystallisation.
