How is oxygen prepared from air ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :When air is liquefied, the major components of air, NITROGEN and oxygen can be separated by subjecting the liquids to FRACTIONAL EVAPORATION. Nitrogen has a lower boiling point, and HENCE boils off and oxygen has a higher boiling point, and hence remains behind.

How is a mixture of common salt, oil andwater separated? You can use a combination of different methods.

Answer»

Solution :The mixture of common salt, oil and water are taken in a BEAKER. The salt dissolves in water. Allow it to stand for a few MINUTES. The mixture of two immiscible LIQUIDS is separated by a separating funnel. The oil floats on top. The water can carefully be separated by opening the stopcock in the separating funnel. The oil is left behind in the separating funnel. The saalt water is heated slowly, in a distillation FLASK with a water condenser. The PURE water vapour passes through the inner tube of the condenser. The vapours on cooling condense into pure water and are collected in a receiver. The salt is left behind in the flask as a residue.

1562.

How does the water kept in an earthen pot (mataka) become cool during summer?

Answer»

Solution :The earthen pot (or matka) has a large number of extremely SMALL PORES in its walls. Some of the water kept in the earthern pot continuously KEEPS seeping through these pores to the outside of the pot. This water evaporates (changes into vapour) continuously by taking the LATENT heat of vaporisation from the earthen pot and the remaining water. In this way, the earthen pot and remaining water lose heat and get cooled.
