15) The area under a peak provides a value to compare to values obtained from passing standard
solutions through the column. Note that peak area is more relevant than peak height. R t values
are used to determine the type of substance, not its concentration.
16) Ethanol, with the smaller molecular mass, will pass through the column more quickly; hence its
retention time is shorter. Since the ethanol has a much higher concentration its peak area is larger.
17) In AAS and flame tests the sample is vaporised, and hence destroyed. In volumetric analysis the
component under investigation is reacted with another substance, and hence is 'destroyed'.
Colorimetry does not require the solution to be reacted or damaged in any way, and so is non-
destructive.
18) Evaporation: Liquid can’t be collected in pure form and common salt is non-volatile solid.
Sublimation: Phase changes from directly solid to gas.
Iodine can be sublimable.
Salt can’t be sublimable.
19) Water is sprinkled on a dusty street to help the dust particles settle down before sweeping. It then
becomes eaiser for sweeping. Such a process is called loading (or) coagulation. It is a common
experience that after rain the sky looks clear and brighter. This is because the dust particles settle
down due to loading by rain drops.
20) Solution X has the same concentration as solution Y, because in both solutions same amount of
solute is dissolved in 100g of solvent.
