The ratio of the number of moles of $$AgN{O_3},$$ $$Pb{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_2}$$ and $$Fe{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_3}$$ required for coagulation of a definite amount of a colloidal sol of silver iodide prepared by mixing $$AgN{O_3}$$ with excess of $$KI$$ will be
A
1 : 2 : 3
B
3 : 2 : 1
C
6 : 3 : 2
D
2 : 3 : 6
Answer :
6 : 3 : 2
With excess of $$KI,$$ colloidal particles will be $$\left[ {AgI} \right]{I^ - }$$
\[\underset{1\,\,mol}{\mathop{\left[ AgI \right]{{I}^{-}}}}\,+\underset{1\,\,mol}{\mathop{AgN{{O}_{3}}}}\,\to AgI\downarrow +\] \[AgI\downarrow +NO_{3}^{-}\]
\[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
2\,\,mol \\
1\,\,mol
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{2\left[ AgI \right]{{I}^{-}}}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
1\,\,mol \\
\frac{1}{2}\,mol
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Pb{{\left( N{{O}_{3}} \right)}_{2}}}}\,\to \] \[2AgI\downarrow +Pb{{I}_{2}}\downarrow +2NO_{3}^{-}\]
\[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
3\,\,mol \\
1\,\,mol
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{3\left[ AgI \right]{{I}^{-}}}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
1\,\,mol \\
\frac{1}{3}\,mol
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Fe{{\left( N{{O}_{3}} \right)}_{3}}}}\,\to \] \[3AgI\downarrow +Fe{{I}_{3}}\downarrow +3NO_{3}^{-}\]
∴ Molar ratio required for coagulation of same amount of $$\left[ {AgI} \right]{I^ - }\,\,{\text{is}} = 1:\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3} = 6:3:2$$
132.
Which gas will be adsorbed on a solid to greater extent?
A
Having non - polar molecule
B
Having highest critical temperature
C
Having lowest critical temperature
D
Having lowest critical pressure
Answer :
Having highest critical temperature
Critical temp. $$ \uparrow $$ Attractive force $$ \uparrow $$ Extent of adsorption $$ \uparrow .$$
133.
Which of the following statements does not show correct difference between adsorption and absorption ?
A
In adsorption, the substance is concentrated only at the surface while in absorption it is uniformly distributed in the bulk.
B
Adsorption is instantaneous while absorption is a slow process.
C
A substance can be adsorbed as well as absorbed simultaneously and the process is called sorption.
D
Only gases are adsorbed while solids and liquids are absorbed.
Answer :
Only gases are adsorbed while solids and liquids are absorbed.
Gases, liquids or solids can be adsorbed on the solid surfaces.
134.
Hydrolysis of urea is an example of
A
homogeneous catalysis
B
heterogeneous catalysis
C
biochemical catalysis
D
zeolite catalysis
Answer :
biochemical catalysis
Hydrolysis of urea can be represented as follows
Since it involves biological catalyst (enzyme), so it is an example of biochemical catalysis.
135.
Adsorption is accompanied by the evolution of heat. So according to Le-Chatelier principle, the amount of substance adsorbed should
A
increase with decrease in temperature
B
increase with increase in temperature
C
decrease with decrease in temperature
D
be equal at all temperatures
Answer :
increase with decrease in temperature
According to Le-Chatelier's principle, exothermic reactions are favoured at low temperature.
136.
The volume of a colloidal particle, $${{V_C}}$$ as compared to the volume of a solute particle in a true solution $${{V_S}}$$ , could be
137.
The disperse phase in colloidal iron (III) hydroxide and colloidal gold is positively and negatively charged, respectively. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
A
Coagulation in both sols can be brought about by electrophoresis
B
Mixing the sols has no effect
C
Sodium sulphate solution causes coagulation in both sols
D
Magnesium chloride solution coagulates, the gold sol more readily than the iron (III) hydroxide sol
Answer :
Mixing the sols has no effect
When oppositely charged sols are mixed their charges are neutralised. Both sols may be partially or completely precipitated.
138.
After the reaction is over between adsorbed reactants, it is important to create space for the other reactant molecules to approach the surface and react. The process responsible for this is known as
A
sorption
B
desorption
C
physisorption
D
chemisorption
Answer :
desorption
Desorption removes products from the surface to create space for other reactants.
139.
The suspension of slaked lime in water is known as
A
limewater
B
quicklime
C
milk of lime
D
aqueous solution of slaked lime
Answer :
milk of lime
Aqueous solution of slaked lime is called lime water whereas suspension solution of slaked lime is called milk of lime.
140.
In the adsorption of a gas on solid, Freundlich isotherm is obeyed. The slope of the plot is zero. Thus, the extent of adsorption is
A
directly proportional to the pressure of gas
B
inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas
C
independent of the pressure of the gas
D
proportional to the square of the pressure of the gas.
