Question

A student takes a mixture of sand and ammonium chloride in a china dish and heats it under a funnel fitted with a plug over a flame. He would observe that (1) solid sand gets deposited on the lower cooler parts of the funnel while solid ammonium chloride remains in the china dish.
(2) sand and ammonium chloride get deposited on hotter parts of the funnel.
(3) ammonium chloride gets deposited on the cooler parts of the funnel and sand remains in the china dish.
(4) sand collects on cooler parts of the funnel while ammonium chloride melts in the china dish.

Answer 1

Answer:

(3) is the right observation by the boy.

Answer 2

A student takes a mixture of sand and ammonium chloride in a china dish and heats it under a funnel fitted with a plug over a flame. He would observe that ammonium chloride gets deposited on the cooler parts of the funnel and sand remains in the china dish.

Explanation:

• Solid ammonium chloride is converted directly into the gas phase after heating so that these vapors accumulate in the cooler portions of the funnel, on the other hand, the sand remains on the china dish.
• This conversion of solid into the gas phase is called sublimation.

Therefore the correct answer is option 3)ammonium chloride gets deposited on the cooler parts of the funnel and sand remains in the china dish.
