On dissolving chalk powder in water, a suspension is obtained. Give any four reasons to support the fact that mixture so obtained is a suspension only.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is supported by the following reasons
(i) White particles of chalk powder can be seen with naked eye.
(ii) The particles can be separated by ordinary filter paper.
(iii) Upon shaking, a white turbidity reappears in solution.
(iv) Light cannot pass through the suspension which shows that it is of opaque nature.

  • A white sodium salt dissolves readily in water to give a solution which is neutral to litmus. When silver nitrate solution is added to the aforementioned solution, a white precipitate is obtained which does not dissolved in dil. nitric acid. The anion is :

    A
    `SO_(4)^(2-)`
    B
    `CO_(3)^(2-)`
    C
    `Cl^(-)`
    D
    `S^(2-)`

  • A mixture of two white substances was dissolved in water.On passing Cl_2 gas through the solution a deep brown colour is developed. Addition of BaCl_2 solution to the original solution gives a white precipitate.Addition of a large amount of NaOH solution to the original solution gives a white precipitate, whose suspension in water is used as an antacid.The mixture gives golden yellow colour flame. The mixture contains :

    A
    `Na^(+), Mg^(2+) Br^(-) and SO_4^(2-)`
    B
    `Na^(+), Ca^(2+) , Br^(-) and SO_4^(2-)`

    A mixture of two white substances is solubel in water. This solution gives brown colour gas on passing chlorine gas. Another sample of solution gives white precipitate with BaCl_(2) which is soluble in concentrated HCl. The original solution of the mixture gives white precipitate with large excess of NaOH solution whose suspension is used as an antacid. After filtering off this precipitate, the filtrate was boiled with excess NaOH. This solution gave a yellowish precipitate on adding NaClO_(4) . Identify the mixture.
