Question
The given mixture contains three constituents A, B and C. The constituent A is a yellow coloured, solid element which dissolves in a liquid D. The constituent B is a blue coloured salt which is insoluble in liquid D but dissolves easily in another liquid E. The constitudent C is a liquid which is used in cooking food and forms a solid fat on hydrogenation.
(a) What do you think could (i) constituent A, and (ii) liquid D be ?
(b) What could (i) constituent B, and (ii) liquid E be ?
(c) What could liquid C be ?
(d) How will you separate the mixture containing A, B and C ?

Solution
- i. Constituent A is yellow coloured solid element. It could be sulphur.
ii. Sulphur dissolves in liquid D. So, liquid D could be carbon disulphide.
i. Constituent B is a blue coloured salt, which is insoluble in carbon disulphide but dissolves in water. So, it could be copper sulphate.
ii. Liquid E could be water as it dissolves copper sulphate.- Liquid C could be vegetable oil as it turns into a solid fat on hydrogenation.
- We will separate the mixture containing A, B, and C by following process: At first, we filter the mixture of A, B, and C.
Vegetable oil C, being liquid, will be obtained as a filtrate.
Residue consists of A (sulphur) and B (copper sulphate).
We add water to the residue and shake it before filtering. A (sulphur) is obtained as residue.
Now, we evaporate filtrate to obtain B (copper sulphate).

A, B and C are all liquids. Liquid A has a comparatively low boiling point. On heating, liquid A vaporises completely without leaving behind any residue. Liquid A is being used increasingly as a fuel in motor vehicles either alone or by mixing with petrol. Liquid B has a very high boiling point. It also vaporises completely on heating, without leaving any residue. Liquid B is a conductor of electricity and used in making thermometers. Liquid C has a moderate boiling point. On heating, liquid C vaporises leaving behind a white solid D which is used in cooking vegetables. The condensation of vapours from C give a liquid E which turns anhydrous CuSO4 to blue.
