32.
In Freundlich adsorption isotherm, the value of $$\frac{1}{n}$$ is
A
between 0 and 1 in all cases
B
between 2 and 4 in all cases
C
1 in case of physical adsorption
D
1 in case of chemisorption
Answer :
between 0 and 1 in all cases
In Freundlich adsorption isotherm,
$$\frac{x}{m} = k{p^{\frac{1}{n}}}$$
Where, $$x =$$ amount of adsorbent
$$m=$$ amount of adsorbate
The value of $$n$$ is always greater than 1. So, the value of $$\frac{1}{n}$$ lies between 0 and 1 in all cases.

Choose the correct statement
A
$$Latex$$ is an example of solid-in-liquid sol
B
$$Latex$$ is a negative sol
C
$$Latex$$ is a positive sol
D
None of the above is correct
Answer :
$$Latex$$ is a negative sol
$$Latex$$ is a negative sol. $$Latex$$ is an $$emulsion$$ in which the rubber
particles forming emulsion are stabilized by various proteins.
34.
Which is not correct regarding the adsorption of a gas on surface of solid?
A
On increasing temperature adsorption increases continuously
B
Enthalpy and entropy change is negative
C
Adsorption is more for some specific substance
D
Reversible
Answer :
On increasing temperature adsorption increases continuously
Adsorption is the ability of a substance to concentrate or hold gases, liquids upon its surface. Solids adsorb greater amounts of substances at lower temperature. In general adsorption decreases with increasing temperature.

In an experiment, addition of $$4.0\,ml$$ of $$0.005\,M$$ $$BaC{l_2}$$ to $$16.0\,ml$$ of arsenius sulphide sol just causes the complete coagulation in 2 hrs. The
flocculating value of the effective ion is
A
$$C{l^ - },1.0$$
B
$$C{l^ - },2.0$$
C
$$B{a^{2 + }},1.0$$
D
$$B{a^{2 + }},0.5$$
Answer :
$$B{a^{2 + }},1.0$$
$$A{s_2}{S_3}$$ sol is negatively charged owing to preferential adsorption of $${S^{2 - }}\,ions.$$ Cation would be the effective ion in coagulation. Flocculating value = minimum milli $$mol$$ of the effective ion per litre of sol $$ = \frac{{4 \times 0.005 \times {{10}^3}}}{{4 + 16}} = 1.0$$
36.
The values of colligative properties of colloidal solution are of small order in comparison to those shown by true solutions of same concentration because of colloidal particles
A
exhibit enormous surface area
B
remain suspended in the dispersion medium
C
form lyophilic colloids
D
are comparatively less in number
Answer :
are comparatively less in number
Colloidal particles being bigger aggregates, the number of particles in a colloidal solution is comparatively small as compared to a true solution.
37.
A chemical reaction is catalyzed by a catalyst $$X.$$ Hence $$X$$
A
reduces enthalpy of the reaction
B
decreases rate constant of the reaction
C
increases activation energy of the reaction
D
does not affect equilibrium constant of the reaction
Answer :
does not affect equilibrium constant of the reaction
A catalyst affects equally both forward and backward reactions, therefore it does not affect equilibrium constant of reaction.
38.
Select incorrect statement :
A
Micelles are associated colloids
B
The electrical charge on a colloid particle is indicated by electrophoresis
C
Formation of micelles takes place above Kraft temperature
D
Formation of micelles takes place below $$CMC$$
Answer :
Formation of micelles takes place below $$CMC$$
Formation of micelles takes place below $$CMC.$$

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 maximum for :
A
$$NaCl$$
B
$$N{a_2}S{O_4}$$
C
$$N{a_3}P{O_4}$$
D
$${\text{same for all}}$$
Answer :
$$NaCl$$
The sol particles migrate towards cathode. So they are positively charged. Hence, anions would be effective in coagulation. Greater is the valence of effective ion, smaller will be its coagulating value.

Adsorption of a gas follows Freundlich adsorption isotherm. In the given plot, $$x$$ is the mass of the gas adsorbed on mass m of the adsorbent at pressure $$p.$$ $$\frac{x}{m}$$ is proportional to :
A
$${p^2}$$
B
$${p^{\frac{1}{4}}}$$
C
$${p^{\frac{1}{2}}}$$
D
$$p$$
Answer :
$${p^{\frac{1}{2}}}$$
In Freundlich adsorption isotherm the extent of adsorption $$\left( {\frac{x}{m}} \right)$$ of a gas on the surface of a solid is related to the pressure of the gas $$(P)$$ which can be formulated as :
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{x}{m} = k{\left( p \right)^{\frac{1}{n}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\log \,\frac{x}{m} = \log k + \frac{1}{n}\,\log p \cr} $$
In the given plot, the slope between $$\log \,\frac{x}{m}$$ versus
$$\eqalign{
& \log \,p = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \cr
& \therefore \,\,\frac{x}{m} \propto {p^{\frac{1}{2}}} \cr} $$
