42. Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding physissorptions?

A More easily liquefiable gases are adsorbed readily.
B Under high pressure it results into multi molecular layer on adsorbent surface.
C Enthalpy of adsorption $$\left( {\Delta {H_{adsorption}}} \right)$$   is low and positive.
D It occurs because of van der Waal’s forces.
Answer :   Enthalpy of adsorption $$\left( {\Delta {H_{adsorption}}} \right)$$   is low and positive.

46. At the high pressure, Langmuir adsorption isotherm takes the form

A $$\frac{x}{m} = \frac{{ap}}{{1 + bp}}$$
B $$\frac{x}{m} = \frac{a}{b}$$
C $$\frac{x}{m} = ap$$
D $$\frac{m}{x} = \frac{b}{a} + \frac{1}{{ap}}$$
Answer :   $$\frac{x}{m} = \frac{a}{b}$$

47. At the critical micelle concentration $$(CMC)$$  the surfactant molecules

A decompose
B dissociate
C associate
D become completely soluble
Answer :   associate

48. The term activation of adsorbent is used when

A adsorbing power is increased by increasing surface area by making the surface rough
B adsorbing power is increased by dipping the surface in acid to make it smooth
C adsorbing power is increased by dissolving it in water
D adsorbing power is decreased to reduce the extent of adsorption.
Answer :   adsorbing power is increased by increasing surface area by making the surface rough

49. $$Fe{\left( {OH} \right)_3}$$   sol can be more easily coagulated by $$N{a_3}P{O_4}$$   in comparison to $$KCl$$  because

A mass of $$N{a_3}P{O_4}$$   is more than $$KCl$$  hence it is more effective than $$KCl.$$
B phosphate ion $$\left( {PO_4^{3 - }} \right)$$  has higher negative charge than $$C{l^ - }$$  ion hence are more effective for coagulation.
C $$KCl$$  is more soluble than $$N{a_3}P{O_4}$$   hence less effective for coagulation.
D $$N{a^ + }$$  ions are more effective than $${K^ + }$$  ions for coagulation.
Answer :   phosphate ion $$\left( {PO_4^{3 - }} \right)$$  has higher negative charge than $$C{l^ - }$$  ion hence are more effective for coagulation.

50. Substances which behave as normal electrolytes in solution at low concentration and exhibit colloidal properties at higher concentration are called

A lyophilic colloids
B lyophobic colloids
C macromolecular colloids
D associated colloids
Answer :   associated colloids
