Q1. For Freundlich isotherm a graph of log (x/m) is plotted against log p. The slope of the line and its y – axis intercept respectively corresponds to
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

x/m =k.p1/n

 log(x/m )=logk+ 1/ n logp

y=c+mx

m = 1/n and c= logk


Q2. Which of the following is incorrect for physisorption?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

The incorrect statement is option (b)

Physisorption is an exothermic process. Hence increase in temperature decreases the physisorption.


Q3. Which one of the following characteristics are associated with adsorption?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Adsorption leads to decrease in randomness (entropy).i.e. ∆S< 0 for the adsorption to occur, ∆G should be -ve. We know that ∆G=∆H-T∆S if ∆S is -ve, T∆S is +ve. It means that ∆G will become negative only when ∆H is -ve and ∆H>T∆S


Q4. Fog is colloidal solution of
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

dispersion medium-gas  dispersed phase-liquid

Q5.

Assertion : Coagulation power of Al3+ is more than Na+ .

Reason : greater the valency of the flocculating ion added, greater is its power to cause precipitation
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

(Hardy-Schulze rule)

Q6. Statement : To stop bleeding from an injury, ferric chloride can be applied. Which comment about the statement is justified?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q7. Hair cream is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Emulsion dispersed phase 

Dispersion medium -liquid 

Q8. Which one of the following is correctly matched?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q9. The most effective electrolyte for the coagulation of As2 S3Sol is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

As2S3 is a -vely charged colloid. It will  be most effectively coagulated by the cation  with greater valency. i.e., Al3+ .

Q10. Which one of the is not a surfactant?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
