Chemistry short questions: Standard solutions (set-1)

Q.1 Define a true solution?

Ans. When two or more than two substances mixed with each other resulting in a homogeneous mixture forming a single phase, the solution is known as true solution. The components of a true solution cannot is distinguished and never settled down by the force of gravity. The components of a true solution can only be separated using different analytical techniques such as evaporation and distillation.

Q.2 What is meant by a binary solution?

Ans. A solution which possesses two components only is specifically known as a binary solution. For example, a solution of salt into water is an example of binary solution.

Q. 3 Enlist different concentration units of a solution?

Ans. Divergent concentration units are used for the quantitative study of a solution in which amount of solute dissolved into solvent is estimated. Following are different units to estimate the concentration of the given solution

            I) Percentage

            II) Molarity

            III) Molality

            IV) Normality

            V) Mole fraction

            VI) Formality

Q. 4 What is a standard solution?

Ans. A solution of known concentration or strength is known as a standard solution.

Q. 5 Differentiate between concentration and amount of a substance?

Ans. The quantity of a given substance which is measured or weighed independently in its original state is known as amount of that substance. However, when the given amount of a substance is dissolved in a unit volume of a solution than this amount is estimated in terms of concentration.
