Q34.
Statement 1: Brookfield viscometer is very robust, is supported by software and even shows values of K and n, but, sometimes particles suspended in the fluid cause problems.
Statement 2: Drawbacks of plate and cone viscometer: edge-effects, turbulence and temperature effects.
Discuss
Answer: (b).True, True
Q35.
Statement 1: Evaporation is considered a mass and heat transfer operation.
Statement 2: After evaporation, solids are left behind.
Discuss
Answer: (c).False, False
Q36.
During evaporation of edible solutions, the BPR-boiling point rise should be _____ and the foaming and scale formation should be _____
Discuss
Answer: (a).Low, minimum
Discuss
Answer: (d).All of the mentioned
Q38.
Statement 1: Boiling point rise is due to the colligative properties due to the presence of solid particles in the solvent.
Statement 2: Boiling point rise is due to the increase in pressure at the bottom of the solvent due to hydro-static head of the column.
Discuss
Answer: (b).True, True
Q39.
Statement 1: Duhring’s rule states that the ratio of temperatures at which two solutions have the same vapor pressure is constant.
Statement 2: Duhring’s rule states that the boiling point of a solution is a linear function of the boiling point of pure water at the same pressure.
Discuss
Answer: (b).True, True
Q40.
