Select the FALSE statement about adsorption.

a)

The value of adsorption enthalpy of physical adsorption is less than chemical adsorption.

b)

Physical adsorption occurs due to Van der Waals'forces.

Mechanical property

b)

Colligative property

c)

Optical property

d)

a)

Liquid and liquid

b)

Solid and gas

c)

Liquid and solid

d)

5.

Recognize the method in preparing lyophilic sol.

a)

Chemical reduction

b)

Peptization

c)

Mechanical dispersion

d)

Direct mixing of the solid with the liquid

6.

Select the CORRECT statement regarding adsorption process.

a)

A substance is encapsulated in the solid or liquid form.

b)

A substance is distributed throughout the solid or liquid form.

c)

A substance becomes attached to the surface of a solid or a liquid.

d)

It may involve chemisorption only.

7.

" A substance is first ground to coarse particles and then mixed with the dispersion medium to produce a suspension."


Name the method to produce sol as mentioned above.

a)

Double decomposition

b)

Mechanical dispersion

c)

Bredig's arc

d)

Peptization

8.

Select the CORRECT property of a lyophobic sol.

a)

The colloidal particles are not easily detected by the ultra microscope.

b)

The surface tension of dispersed phase is generally lower than that of the dispersion medium.

c)

The viscosity of a sol is similar to that of the dispersion medium (solvent).

d)

Addition of low concentration of electrolytes has little effect on the coagulation.

9.

Define adsorbate.

a)

The removal of adsorbed particles.

b)

A solid material on which adsorption occurs.

c)

A substance in the adsorbed phase.

d)

The study on the interaction phenomena on the surface.

10.

Choose the CORRECT assumptions of the Langmuir isotherm.

Answers can be more than one options.

a)

The solid surface of adsorbent is uniform (all the adsorption sites are equivalent. Every side have same energy (homogeneous surface).

b)

All adsorption occurs through same mechanism.

c)

A maximum of a monolayer (one adsorbate molecule per site) can be adsorbed. Adsorption cannot proceed above monolayer coverage.

d)

Adsorbed molecule do not interact; adsorption is localized (immobile)

e)

Adsorption can proceed multilayer coverage.
