Separation Processes MCQ’s – Precipitation
1 - Question
Precipitation is opposite of what separation technique?
a) Distillation
b) Solution crystallization
c) Melt crystallization
d) Zone melting
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: In solution crystallization a solution is cooled or partially to make the solution exceed in its solubility sufficiently to make the solute crystallize. So it is the opposite of solution crystallization.
2 - Question
Precipitation is applicable for what types of solutes?
a) Insoluble
b) Soluble
c) Sparingly soluble
d) Both insoluble and soluble
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Precipitation is applicable only for sparingly soluble solutes so that they precipitate out easily.
3 - Question
Why does the resulting shapes maybe far away from what corresponds to minimum gibbs free energy?
a) Because they come out of a solution
b) Because they might contain moisture
c) Because they are formed at considerable super saturation
d) Because they contain impurities from solution
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The resulting shapes maybe far away from what corresponds to minimum gibbs free energy which depends on particle size and interfacial tension b Because they are formed at considerable super saturation.
