The process of separating two immiscible liquids uses: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process of separating two immiscible liquids uses:
A. Fractionating column
B. Centrifuge
C. Separating funnel
D. Condenser
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
A separating funnel allows immiscible liquids to form layers; the denser liquid is drained from the bottom. Fractionating column is for miscible liquids with close boiling points, condenser for distillation, centrifuge for separating fine solids or liquids of different densities by spinning.

Question #1
Assertion (A): The smell of hot sizzling food reaches you several meters away, but to get the smell from cold food you have to go close. Reason (R): The kinetic energy of gas molecules is higher at higher temperatures.
A. A is true but R is false.
B. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
C. A is false but R is true.
D. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
At higher temperatures, the rate of diffusion increases because the kinetic energy of the gas molecules (food aroma) increases. Thus, the smell of hot food diffuses faster and reaches further. Both statements are correct, and the increased kinetic energy perfectly explains the enhanced diffusion rate observed in the assertion.

Washing soda (Na₂CO₃·10H₂O) is manufactured by Solvay process. Its aqueous solution is:
A. Basic
B. Neutral
C. Acidic
D. Amphoteric

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Sodium carbonate is a salt of strong base (NaOH) and weak acid (H₂CO₃). On hydrolysis, it gives OH⁻ ions: CO₃²⁻ + H₂O ⇌ HCO₃⁻ + OH⁻, making the solution basic. pH ~11. It turns red litmus blue. It is used for softening hard water and in detergents. NaHCO₃ solution is also mildly basic. Salts of strong acid + strong base are neutral (NaCl). Salts of weak base + strong acid are acidic (NH₄Cl).

Question #3
Ethanol is used as a fuel additive. The complete combustion of ethanol yields:
A. CO and H₂O
B. CO and H₂
C. CO₂ and H₂O
D. CO₂ and H₂

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Complete combustion of ethanol: C₂H₅OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 3H₂O + heat. In sufficient oxygen, carbon burns to CO₂, hydrogen to H₂O. Incomplete combustion (lack of O₂) produces CO and soot (C). Ethanol is a biofuel, reducing CO₂ emissions if derived from biomass. It has high octane number and is blended with petrol (gasohol). CO₂ is a greenhouse gas, but bioethanol is carbon-neutral over cycle.
