Define the following terms:
(i) Brownian movement
(ii) Peptization
(iii) Multimolecular colloids
(i) The continuous random zigzag motion of colloidal particles in the colloidal solution, when observed under an ultramicroscope, is called Brownian movement/motion.
(ii) Peptization is defined as the process of conversion of a precipitate into a colloidal solution by shaking it with the dispersion medium in presence of small amount of an electrolyte.
(iii) Multimolecular colloids are species having a size in the colloidal range (diameter < 1 nm) that are formed by the aggregation of a large number of atoms or small molecules of substances when dissolved in the dispersion medium.

In Haber's process, hydrogen is obtained by reacting methane with steam in presence of NiO as catalyst. The process is known as steam reforming. Why is it necessary to remove CO when ammonia is obtained by Haber’s process?
