What you have learnt

A mixture contains more than one substance ( element and or compound ) mixed in any proportion .

Mixtures can be separated into pure substances using appropriate separation techniques .

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances The major component of a solution is called the solvent , and the minor , the solute .

The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute present per unit volume or per unit mass of the solution .

Materials that are insoluble in a solvent and have particles that are visible to naked eyes , form a suspension .

A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture .

Colloids are heterogeneous mixtures in which the particle size is too small to be seen with the naked eye , but is big enough to scatter light .
Colloids are useful in industry and daily life .

The particles are called the dispersed phase and the medium in which they are distributed is called the dispersion medium .

Pure substances can be elements or compounds .

An element is a form of matter that cannot be broken down by chemical reactions into simpler substances .

A compound is a substance composed of two or more different types of elements , chemically combined in a fixed proportion .

Properties of a compound are different from constituent elements , whereas a mixture shows the properties of its constituting elements or compounds .

Each of the following questions

Q. 1. How can you change a saturated solution to an unsaturated solution without adding any more solvent to it?

Ans. By heating the saturated solution, it becomes unsaturated.

Q. 2. Sucrose (sugar) crystals obtained from sugarcane and beetroot are mixed together. Will it be a pure substance or a mixture? Give reasons for the same.

1) Write down the functions of lymph nodes .
( i) Lymph nodes produce and maintain the lymphocytes of blood . These are only found in the mammals.
(ii ) Lymph nodes filter the blood and remove poisonous and foreign substances , e.g. bacteria debris etc.

2. Why is cigarette smoking injurious to health ?

Ans . During smoking , the cigarette fumes make the walls of alveoli very thin which causes rupturing of alveoli . This reduces the surface area for gaseous exchange in lungs . To make up for the reduced gaseous exchange , the heart has to pump more blood . This over burdening of the heart may cause heart failure .

.
