a) The six molecular species are non-volatile while the ionic species are volatile
b) The six molecular species are volatile while the ionic species are non-volatile
c) Both the molecular and ionic species are non-volatile and must be separated
d) Both the molecular and ionic species are volatile and must be separated
View Answer
Explanation: The six molecular species (NH 3 , CO, CO 2 ..) are volatile while the ionic species(HS – , HCO – 3…. ) are non-volatile.
7 - Question
Which model can handle mixed solvent systems?
a) Pitzer model
b) UNIFAC model
c) UNIQUAC model
d) Chen and associates model

8 - Question
Which of the following is true about polymer solution model?
a) Polymer is volatile but the solvent and monomer is non-volatile
b) Polymer and monomer are non-volatile while solvent is non-volatile
c) The polymer, the solvent, and the monomer is non-volatile
d) The polymer is non-volatile but the solvent and monomer are volatile
View Answer
Explanation: The polymer is non-volatile but the solvent and monomer are volatile due to less molecular weight and loose packing and inter molecular forces being less.
9 - Question
Which salt is not used in ATPS model for polymer separation?
a) K 2 SO 4
b) KCl
c) Na 2 SO 4
d) CH 3 COONa
View Answer
Explanation: Sodium acetate is a salt of weak acid and strong base, hence cannot be used. A salt of strong acid and strong base is required.
