Question 241 Mark
What is difference between an emulsion and a gel?
Answer
  • Emulsion: It is a colloidal mixture in which both the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium are liquids. The two or more liquids present in the mixture are generally immiscible in nature.
Example: Milk.
  • Gel: It is a colloid in which the dispersed phase i.e. liquid has combined with the dispersion medium i.e. solid to produce a semisolid material.
Example: jellies.

Question 271 Mark
Explain what is observed
When a beam of light is passed through a colloidal sol.
Answer
When a beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution, then scattering of light is observed. This is known as the Tyndall effect. This scattering of light illuminates the path of the beam in the colloidal solution.

Question 291 Mark
Adsorption of a gas on the surface of solid is generally accompanied by a decrease in entropy still it is a spontaneous process. Why?
Answer
According to the equation:
$\Delta\text{G}=\Delta\text{H}-\text{T}\Delta\text{S}$
For a process to be spontaneous, $\Delta\text{G}$ should be negative. Even though ΔS is negative here, $\Delta\text{G}$ is negative because reaction is highly exothermic, i.e., $\Delta\text{H}$ is negative.

Question 311 Mark
How are colloids classified on the basis of
Physical states of components.
Answer
Colloids can be classified on various bases:
On the basis of the physical state of the components (by components we mean the dispersed phase and dispersion medium). Depending on whether the components are solids, liquids, or gases, we can have eight types of colloids.

Question 321 Mark
Describe some features of catalysis by zeolites.
Answer
Zeolites are alumino-silicates that are micro-porous in nature. Zeolites have a honeycomb-like structure, which makes them shape-selective catalysts. They have an extended 3D-network of silicates in which some silicon atoms are replaced by aluminium atoms, giving them an Al−O−Si framework. The reactions taking place in zeolites are very sensitive to the pores and cavity size of the zeolites. Zeolites are commonly used in the petrochemical industry.

Question 351 Mark
Why is it essential to wash the precipitate with water before estimating it quantitatively?
Answer
Some amount of the electrolyte is mixed to form the ppt. Some of these electrolytes remain adsorbed on the surface of the particles of the ppt. Hence, it is essential to wash the ppt with water to remove the sticking electrolytes (or any other impurities) before estimating it quantitatively.

Question 381 Mark
Why are substances like platinum and palladium often used for carrying out electrolysis of aqueous solutions?
Answer
  1. Chemisorption is highly specific in nature. It occurs only if there is a possibility of chemical bonding between the adsorbent and the adsorbate.
  2. Like physisorption, chemisorption also increases with an increase in the surface area of the adsorbent.

Question 481 Mark
Explain what is observed
Electric current is passed through a colloidal sol?
Answer
The colloidal particles are charged and carry either a positive or negative charge. The dispersion medium carries an equal and opposite charge. This makes the whole system neutral. Under the influence of an electric current, the colloidal particles move towards the oppositely charged electrode. When they come in contact with the electrode, they lose their charge and coagulate.
