Given a solid mixture containing sodium chloride, magnesium oxide and benzoic acid. i. Design a scheme to successfully separate and collect each component of the mixture.

filtration and Chromatography

Explanation:

The first method used for separation of solids from the mixture is filtration. Filtration is used to separate different solids in a mixture which has particles of different sizes. Other method is Chromatography in which the compounds in the mixtures are separated from each other by moving the mixture at high speed. Due to high speed, the compounds are separated from each other because different compounds have different speeds so it is separated easily.

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.

i believe the answer is true.
