Question 11 Mark
Write an equation for Freundlich adsorption isotherm.
Answer
Freundlich proposed the following empirical equation for adsorption of a gas on solid.
$
\frac{x}{m}=k P^{1 / n}(n>1)
$
where,
$x=$ Mass of the gas adsorbed
$m =$ Mass of the adsorbent
$\frac{x}{ m }=$ Mass of gas adsorbed per unit mass of adsorbent
$P=$ Equilibrium pressure
$k$ and $n$ are constants which depend on the nature of adsorbate, adsorbent and temperature.

Question 91 Mark
Give reason: Lyophilic sols are called reversible sols.
Answer
  • When lyophilic sol is evaporated, the dispersed phase separates.
  • However, if the dispersed phase is remixed with the medium, the sol can be formed again.
Hence, lyophilic sols are called reversible sols.

Question 131 Mark
Give reason: Adsorption of hydrogen on glass is an endothermic process.
Answer
Adsorption of hydrogen on glass is an endothermic process because heat is absorbed during the process due to dissociation of hydrogen.

Question 161 Mark
Define the following terms.
i. Adsorbent
ii. Adsorbate
Answer
i. Adsorbent: The material or substance present in the bulk, on the surface of which adsorption takes place is called adsorbent.
ii. Adsorbate: The substance getting adsorbed on the adsorbent is called as adsorbate.
