Which of the following is an example of absorption?
A
Water on silica gel
B
Water on calcium chloride
C
Hydrogen on finely divided nickel
D
Oxygen on metal surface
Answer :
Water on calcium chloride
Anhydrous calcium chloride acts as a dehydrating agent, it removes water by the process of absorption.

The coagulation values in millimoles per litre of the electrolytes used for the coagulation of $$A{s_2}{S_3}$$ are given below
$$\eqalign{
& \left( {\text{i}} \right)\left( {NaCl} \right) = 52, \cr
& \left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)\left( {BaC{l_2}} \right) = 0.69 \cr
& \left( {{\text{iii}}} \right)\left( {MgS{O_4}} \right) = 0.22 \cr} $$
The correct order of their coagulating power is
Lower the coagulating power, higher is the coagulation value in millimoles per litre, i.e. coagulating power is inversely proportional to coagulation values. Thus, correct order of coagulating power is
$$MgS{O_4} > BaC{l_2} > NaCl\,\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,\,\left( {{\text{iii}}} \right) > \left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) > \left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
53.
The cause of Brownian movement which is not shown by true solutions or suspensions is due to
A
unbalanced bombardment of particles by molecules of the dispersion medium
B
attractive forces between dispersed phase and dispersion medium
C
larger size of the particles due to which they keep colliding and settling down
D
conversion currents formed in the sol.
Answer :
unbalanced bombardment of particles by molecules of the dispersion medium
The colloidal particles are in a continuous zig-zag motion due to unbalanced bombardment of the particles by molecules of the dispersion medium.
54.
Freshly prepared precipitate sometimes gets converted to colloidal solution by ______________.
A
coagulation
B
electrolysis
C
diffusion
D
peptisation
Answer :
peptisation
By peptisation which is the process of converting a precipitate into colloidal sol by shaking it with dispersion medium in the presence of a small amount of electrolyte. The electrolyte used for this purpose is called peptising agent.
55.
Which of the following graphs would yield a straight line?
A
$$\frac{x}{m}\,{\text{vs}}\,\,p$$
B
$$\log \,\frac{x}{m}\,\,{\text{vs}}\,\,p$$
C
$$\frac{x}{m}\,{\text{vs}}\,\,\log \,p$$
D
$$\log \,\frac{x}{m}\,\,{\text{vs}}\,\,\log \,p$$
Equation of straight line for adsorption is $$\log \,\frac{x}{m} = \log \,k + \frac{1}{n}\,\log \,p.$$ Thus, plot between $$\log \,\frac{x}{m}\,\,{\text{vs}}\,\,\log \,p$$ gives a straight line.
56.
Which of the processes is being shown in the figure ?
A
Electrodialysis
B
Electrokinetic
C
Electroosmosis
D
Electrophoresis
Answer :
Electrodialysis
When an electric field is applied to purify an impure colloidal solution, the process is known as electrodialysis. The ions present in the colloidal solution migrate out to the oppositely charged electrodes.
57.
The formation of miceiles takes place only above
A
critical temperature
B
Kraft temperature
C
inversion temperature
D
absolute temperature
Answer :
Kraft temperature
The formation of micelles takes place only above a particular temperature called Kraft temperature $$\left( {{T_K}} \right).$$
58.
Under the influence of an electric field, the particles in a sol migrate towards cathode. The coagulation of the same sol is studied using $$NaCl,N{a_2}S{O_4}$$ and $$N{a_3}P{O_4}$$ solutions. Their coagulating values will be in the order
A
$$NaCl > N{a_2}S{O_4} > N{a_3}P{O_4}$$
B
$$N{a_2}S{O_4} > N{a_3}P{O_4} > NaCl$$
C
$$N{a_3}P{O_4} > N{a_2}S{O_4} > NaCl$$
D
$$N{a_2}S{O_4} > NaCl > N{a_3}P{O_4}$$
Answer :
$$NaCl > N{a_2}S{O_4} > N{a_3}P{O_4}$$
Since the sol particles migrate towards cathode, they are positively charged. Hence,
anions would be effective in coagulation. Greater is the valency of effective $$ion,$$ smaller will be its coagulating value.
59.
Which of the following process is not responsible for the presence of electric charge on the sol particles?
A
Electron capture by sol particles
B
Adsorption of ionic species from solution
C
Formation of Helmholtz electrical double layer
D
Absorption of ionic species from solution
Answer :
Absorption of ionic species from solution
The sol particles acquire positive or negative charge by preferential adsorption of positive or negative ions.
60.
Which one of the following is not applicable to the phenomenon of adsorption?
A
$$\Delta H > 0$$
B
$$\Delta G < 0$$
C
$$\Delta S < 0$$
D
$$\Delta H < 0$$
Answer :
$$\Delta H > 0$$
Adsorption is an exothermic process hence, $$\Delta H < 0.$$
