A mixture of two immiscible liquids can be separated by:
A. Separating funnel
B. Fractional distillation
C. Centrifugation
D. Simple distillation
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Immiscible liquids (e.g., oil and water) form separate layers. A separating funnel is used to draw off the denser liquid from the bottom. Distillation methods are used for miscible liquids. Centrifugation separates solids from liquids or liquids of different densities in a mixture but not for two immiscible liquids efficiently in a lab; a separating funnel is simpler.
Explanation:
The carbon-fluorine bond is one of the strongest covalent bonds, making PTFE resistant to attack by chemicals and heat. The fluorine atoms also shield the carbon backbone.
Explanation:
Galvanization is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to iron or steel to prevent rusting. Zinc acts as a sacrificial anode, meaning it will oxidize preferentially to iron, protecting it even if the coating is scratched and the underlying iron is exposed to moisture.
Explanation:
Bakelite is a thermosetting phenol-formaldehyde resin with excellent heat resistance and electrical insulation properties, making it suitable for switches, handles, and electrical fittings. Polythene and PVC are thermoplastics that soften on heating. Polystyrene is brittle and not highly heat resistant. Thermosets do not melt upon reheating.
