Important Questions from Water
Which of the following are examples of hydrated substances?
Show answer
CuSO4·5H2O (Blue vitriol), Na2CO3·10H2O (Washing soda), MgSO4·7H2O (Epsom salt)
Hydrated substances contain water of crystallization. CuSO4·5H2O, Na2CO3·10H2O, and MgSO4·7H2O all contain water molecules. NaCl and KNO3 are anhydrous substances without water of crystallization.
Which of the following are characteristics of a true solution?
Show answer
It is homogeneous, It is clear and transparent, Solute particles are very small
A true solution is homogeneous, clear, transparent, and contains very small solute particles (about 10⁻¹⁰ m). It does not scatter light and cannot be separated by filtration.
What is efflorescence?
Show answer
Loss of water of crystallization on exposure to air
Efflorescence is the phenomenon where hydrated substances lose their water of crystallization when exposed to dry air, causing them to crumble into powder. Examples include washing soda and Glauber's salt.
