:: Answers ::

1.

The process of obtaining crystals of a substance from its saturated solution is known as crystallization.

2.

Melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it just changes from the solid state to liquid state.

3.

Determination of melting point of a substance tells us not only the purity of substance but also about the nature of the
substance. Melting point is a characteristic property of a substance.

4.

Impurities, generally, lower the melting point of a substance.

5.

If the open end of capillary tube will not be above the liquid level, then the liquid may enter into the capillary tube.

6.

Melting point is said to be sharp if the solid substance melts completely within a range of about 1 0C.

7.

Boiling point of a substance increases with increase in external pressure.

8.

The boiling point of the liquid will increase.

9.

A solution of known strength.

10.

The amount of the solute present in definite volume of the solution is known as strength of the solution.

11.

Strength of a solution is expressed either percentage by weight or molarity or normality.

12.

The substance whose standard solution can be prepared by direct weighing is known as primary standard.

13.

No. oxalic acid and anhydrous sodium carbonate.

14.

It is mode of determination of the amount of a substance by allowing a definite volume of its solution to react
quantitatively with a solution of another substance of known concentration.

15.

The solution which is taken in the burette is called titrant.

16.

The solution which is to be titrated, i.e., solute on which is taken in titration flask.

17.

It is used for measuring the volume of titrant.

18.

Burette or pipette should be rinsed with the solution for which it is to be used so that the water sticking to its walls may
not effect the concentration of the solution.

19.

Since the drop in the jet is extra of the volume measured by the pipette.

20.

It is easier to read the lower meniscus as the contrast in sharper.

21.

Anti-parallax card is nothing but a piece of white paper. Burette reading could be noted more clearly with its help

22.

It is the point in a titration at which the chemical reaction involved in it is just complete.

23.

With the help of indicators.

24.

The substance which indicates the completion of a reaction in a titration by colour change, is termed as indicator.

25.

Phenolphthalein; methl red; methyl orange.

26.

Because NaOH is more corrosive in nature out of the two and therefore, taking it in the burette eliminates the chances
of it going into the mouth while pipetting.

27.

Phenolphthalein.

28.

Methyl orange.

29.

No, use of phenolphthalein as indicator will give only amount of acid consumed for conversion of sodium carbonate to
sodium bicarbonate, i.e., not for the complete reaction.
Na2CO3 + 2HCl 2NaCl + H2O + CO2

30.

Standard solution should always be prepared in distilled water, because there are many ions (Cl , Ca+2, Mg+2) present in
tap water which causes turbidity in the solution.

31.

Never, because the quantity of the substance dissolved remains the same.
