What causes Brownian motion in colloidal dispersion?
Brownian movement is the continuous zigzag movement of colloidal particles in a colloidal sol. Brownian motion takes place due to collision between the molecules of dispersion medium and colloidal particles. This movement is responsible for stabilisation of colloidal solution.
What is the role of adsorption in froth floatation process used especially for concentration of sulphide ores?
Which of the following options are correct?
(a) Micelle formation by soap in aqueous solution is possible at all temperatures.
(b) Micelle formation by soap in aqueous solution occurs above a particular concentration.
(c) On dilution of soap solution micelles may revert to individual ions.
(d) Soap solution behaves as a normal strong electrolyte at all concentrations.
Method of formation of solution is given in Column I. Match it with the type of solution given in Column II.
Assertion (A): Detergents with low CMC are more economical to use. Reason (R): Cleansing action of detergents involves the formation of micelles. These are formed when the concentration of detergents becomes equal to CMC.
Which of the following phenomenon occurs when a chalk stick is dipped in ink?
(a) Adsorption of coloured substance
(b) Adsorption of solvent
(c) Absorption and adsorption both of solvent
(d) Absorption of solvent.
A colloid is formed by adding FeCl3 in excess of hot water. What will happen if excess sodium chloride is added to this colloid?
H2 gas is adsorbed on activated charcoal to a very little extent in comparison
to easily liquefiable gases due to
(a) very strong van der Waals interaction
(b) very weak van der Waals forces
(c) very low critical temperature
(d) very high critical temperature.
An emulsion cannot be broken by and
(a) heating
(b) adding more amount of dispersion medium
(c) freezing
(d) adding emulsifying agent
Which of the following colloids cannot be coagulated easily?
(a) Lyophobic colloids (b) Irreversible colloids
(c) Reversible colloids (d) Lyophilic colloids
Which phenomenon occurs when an electric field is applied to a-colloidal solution and electrophoresis is prevented?
(a) Reverse osmosis takes place.
(b) Electroosmosis takes place.
(c) Dispersion medium begins to move.
(d) Dispersion medium becomes stationary.
Why does the white precipitate of silver halide become coloured in the presence of dye eosin.

(a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
(b) Both Assertion and Reason arc correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
(e) Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
Assertion (A): An ordinary filter paper impregnated with collodion solution stops the flow of colloidal particles.
Reason (R): Pore size of the filter paper becomes more than size of colloidal particle.
Freundlich adsorption isotherm is given by the expression x/m=KP1/n. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from this expression?
What are lyophilic and lyophobic sols? Give one example of each type. Why are hydrophobic sols easily coagulated?
How does it become possible to cause artificial rain by spraying silver iodide on the clouds?
Explain what is observed
(i) when a beam of light is passed through a colloidal sol.
(ii) an electrolyte, NaCI is added to hydrated ferric oxide sol.
(iii) electric current is passed through a colloidal sol.
Which of the following statements are correct about solid catalyst?
(a) Same reactants may give different product by using different catalysts.
(b) Catalyst does not change AH of reaction.
(c) Catalyst is required in large quantities to catalyse reactions.
(d) Catalytic activity of a solid catalyst does not depend upon the strength of chemisorption.
What type of solutions are formed on dissolving different concentrations of soap in water?
Give an example where physisorption changes to chemisorption with rise in temperature. Explain the reason for change.
Assertion (A): Coagulation power of Al3+ is more than Na+
Reason (R): Greater the Valency of the flocculating ion added, greater is its power to cause precipitation (Hardy-Schulze rule).
Why is it essential to wash the precipitate with water before estimating it quantitatively?
Distinguish between the meaning of the terms adsorption and absorption. Give one example of each.
