Answer: 1.A false positive and 2.A false negative.

Explanation:

A false positive the classic example is the contamination of almost any sample with sodium ions which gives an intense yellow line even when the sodium is present as only impurity.

A false negative here sodium ions is the culprit that masks other emissions unless the emissions are resolved spectroscopically rather than simply visually.

rjkz [21]

Water has highest surface tension

Answer: Option (c) is correct

How did I get the sand out the mixture ?
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

They are called homogenous mixtures. If you put sand into a glass of water, it is considered to be a mixture. You can always tell a mixture, because each of the substances can be separated from the group in different physical ways. You can always get the sand out of the water by filtering the water away.
