For a linear plot of log (x/m) versus log p in a Freundlich adsorption isotherm, which of the following statements is correct? (k and n are constants)

  • 1/n appears as the intercept.

  • Only 1/n appears as the slope.

  • log (1/n) appears as the intercept.

  • Both k and 1/n appear in the slope term

Solution

B.

Only 1/n appears as the slope.

According to Freundlich adsorption isotherm,
straight x over straight m space equals space kp to the power of 1 divided by straight n end exponent
On taking logarithm both sides, we get

straight y space equals space log space straight x over straight m comma c= intercept = log k, m =slope = 1/n and x = log p

Gold numbers of protective colloids A, B, C and D are 0.50, 0.01, 0.10 and 0.005, respectively. The correct order of their protective powers is

  •  D < A < C < B

  • C < B < D < A

  •  A < C < B < D

  • B < D < A < C 

Solution

C.

 A < C < B < D

Higher the gold number lesser will be the protective power of colloid.

Question

The coagulating power of electrolytes having ions Na+, Al3+ and Ba2+ for arsenic sulphide sol increases in the order:

  • Al3+<Ba2+<Na+

  • Na+<Ba2+<Al3+

  • Ba2+< Na2+<Al3+

  • Al3+< Na+<Ba2+

Solution

B.

Na+<Ba2+<Al3+

As2S3 is an anionic sol (negative sol) hence coagulation will depend upon coagulating power of cation, which is directly proportional to the valency of cation (Hardy-Schulze rule). 

Question
CBSEENCH12010895

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?

  • magnesium chloride solution coagulates, the gold sol more readily than the iron (III) hydroxide sol.

  • sodium sulphate solution causes coagulation in both sols

  • mixing the sols has no effect

  • coagulation in both sols can be brought about by electrophoresis

Solution

C.

mixing the sols has no effect
