Chapter 6: Solutions

Chapter 6 covers the concept of solutions, their types, properties, and the factors affecting solubility. It explains concentration units, the difference between saturated, unsaturated, and supersaturated solutions, and practical applications in daily life. These MCQs will help Class 9 students prepare for exams by testing key concepts and problem-solving skills.

1. What is a solution?

  • A. A mixture of solids only
  • B. A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances ✅
  • C. A suspension of particles
  • D. A pure compound
Explanation: A solution is a homogeneous mixture where solute particles are uniformly distributed in the solvent.

2. In a sugar solution, sugar is the:

  • A. Solvent
  • B. Solute ✅
  • C. Precipitate
  • D. Colloid
Explanation: The solute is the substance dissolved in the solvent — here, sugar is dissolved in water.

3. Which of the following is NOT a type of solution?

  • A. Solid in liquid
  • B. Gas in gas
  • C. Solid in solid ✅
  • D. Gas in liquid
Explanation: While alloys are solid mixtures, “solid in solid” is not considered a typical solution type in chemistry context for Class 9.

4. A saturated solution contains:

  • A. Less solute than it can dissolve
  • B. The maximum amount of solute at given conditions ✅
  • C. More solute than can dissolve
  • D. Only solvent
Explanation: Saturated solutions have dissolved the maximum solute possible at a given temperature.

5. What will increase the solubility of most solids in liquids?

  • A. Decreasing temperature
  • B. Increasing temperature ✅
  • C. Removing pressure
  • D. Adding more solute
Explanation: Higher temperatures usually increase solubility for most solid solutes in liquids.

6. Which concentration unit is expressed as grams of solute per 100 g of solution?

  • A. Molarity
  • B. Percent by mass ✅
  • C. Molality
  • D. Volume percent
Explanation: Percent by mass measures solute mass relative to the total mass of the solution.

7. Which factor decreases the solubility of gases in liquids?

  • A. Increasing pressure
  • B. Increasing temperature ✅
  • C. Decreasing temperature
  • D. Stirring
Explanation: Gases dissolve better at lower temperatures; higher temperatures reduce gas solubility.

8. Which is an example of a gas in liquid solution?

  • A. Brass
  • B. Carbonated water ✅
  • C. Sugar solution
  • D. Air
Explanation: Carbonated water contains carbon dioxide gas dissolved in water.

9. The point at which no more solute dissolves in a solvent is called:

  • A. Precipitation
  • B. Saturation point ✅
  • C. Condensation
  • D. Dilution
Explanation: At saturation point, the solution cannot dissolve any more solute under existing conditions.

10. Which process can increase the rate of dissolving?

  • A. Cooling the solution
  • B. Stirring ✅
  • C. Reducing surface area
  • D. Increasing pressure on solids
Explanation: Stirring exposes more solute particles to the solvent, speeding up dissolution.
