  4. Liquid air containing carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen and inert gases is subjected to fractional evaporation.
  5. Carbon dioxide separates out as solid ice at -78°C.
  6. Liquid containing has a lower boiling point of -196°C, so it distills out first. Oxygen with boiling point -183°C is left behind.

Solution 26.

The two main components (oxygen and nitrogen) are separated from the air as follows:

  1. Air is passed through filters or an electronic precipitator to remove dust.
  2. Then air is repeatedly compressed by increasing the pressure.
  3. Air is then cooled by decreasing the temperature.
  4. Now air becomes liquefied.
  5. Liquid air containing carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen and inert gases is subjected to fractional evaporation.
  6. Carbon dioxide separates out as solid ice at -78°C.

Solution 27.

(a) Chromatogeaphy: The process of separation of different dissolved constituents or mixture by absorbing them over an appropriate adsorbent material is called chromatography.

(b) The principle on which this technique is based is the difference in the adsorption different substances on the surface of a solid medium.

(c) Chromatograms are the distinct coloured rings or zones which are formed due to separation of mixture containing coloured substances by the process of chromatography.

(d) Advantages of chromatography:

  1. It can be carried out by very small amount of material.
  2. The substances under investigation do not get washed in chromatographic separation.

Solution 28.

(a) Centrifugation is used in diagnostic laboratories for testing blood/urine samples. It is also used for separation of cream from milk and butter from curd in dairies.
(b) Chromatography is used for purification of number of industrial products.

Solution 29.

The methods employed to separate two liquids are:

  1. Distillation and fractional distillation
  2. By using separating funnel.

Solution 30.

The apparatus used to separate oil and water is separating funnel. In this the two immiscible liquids are separated on the basis of their density differences. Thus, the heavier liquid will settle at bottom and the lighter one will form upper laye

(i) Solvent extraction

Solution 32.

Take a rectangular sheet of filter paper approximately 10 em x 8em. Mark a horizontal line on the sheet about 2 cm from the lower edge and mark a cross (x) near the middle of the line. Prepare a mixture by mixing red and blue inks nearly-in equal proportions. With the help of dropper put about 2 to 3 drops of ink mixture on the cross (x) marked on the line. Allow it to dry. Fix the paper to a cork in a tall jar so that its lower end rests at the bottom of the jar. Pour a mixture of water and alcohol into the jar.

(1 : 1) so that about a 2 cm of filter paper dips in water-alcohol mixture. Leave it for about one hour. Solvent rises slowly by capillary action and reaches the cross marked on line and then goes on rising higher. Two coloured lines are seen at different heights. When the difference in heights is appreciable, remove the paper from jar and let it dry. In this way we can separate coloured constituents present in a mixture of ink.
