A mixture of sand and iodine can be separated by: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A mixture of sand and iodine can be separated by:
A. Filtration
B. Distillation
C. Magnetic separation
D. Sublimation
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Iodine sublimes on heating, converting to vapor, leaving sand behind. Iodine vapors can be condensed. Filtration cannot separate two solids; distillation for liquids.

Question #1
The standard reduction potential of a half-cell measures:
A. Tendency to lose electrons
B. Tendency to gain electrons
C. Resistance of electrolyte
D. Current produced

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Standard reduction potential (E°) measures the tendency of a species to gain electrons and be reduced. The more positive the E°, the greater the tendency to undergo reduction. Metals with negative E° are good reducing agents (e.g., Zn, -0.76 V). E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode. It is measured under standard conditions (1 M, 1 atm, 25°C) relative to standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) which is assigned 0 V.

Question #2
Which of the following is an extensive property?
A. Refractive index
B. Density
C. Temperature
D. Enthalpy

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Extensive properties depend on the amount of substance. Enthalpy (heat content) is extensive because it scales with the quantity. Temperature, density, and refractive index are intensive properties; they remain constant regardless of the sample size. For example, 1 kg of water has more enthalpy than 1 g of water at the same temperature.

Question #3
The alcohol present in alcoholic beverages is:
A. Propanol
B. Methanol
C. Butanol
D. Ethanol

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) is the intoxicating ingredient in beer, wine, spirits. Methanol is toxic. Propanol and butanol are used as solvents, not beverages.
