as dispersion medium is called emulsion. Milk is an example of emulsion in which fat globules are dispersed in
water. Emulsions resemble lyophobic sols in some properties. Emulsions are prepared by high speed mixer.
Emulsion are of two types i.e. O/W and W/O type emulsion, identified by dilution test, conductivity test and dye
test.

Comprehension-II
The electrophoresis of dispersed particle in a colloidal system is prevented by some suitable means (e.g using
membrane M1 and M2) it is observed that the dispersion medium itself begins to move in an electric field. This
phenomenon is known as electro-osmosis.
Consider the apparatus for studying electro-osmosis given below:
T1 T2

Y Z
+ –
M1 M2
1. When current is applied (Polarity of battery is shown) the level of water inside the tube T1 is increased,
then colloidal particles may be
(1) Congo red sol (2) Methylene blue sol (3) Sb2S3 sol (4) Copper sol
Sol. Answer (2)
If water moves towards anode it means water contains negative charge so colloidal sol must contain positive
charge.
2. X contains colloidal sol of ‘P’. If current is applied (according to shown polarity) then water level in tube
T2 increases. Select the ion which has highest coagulation power for sol ‘P’.

(C) Desorption (r) Bulk phenomenon
(D) Zymase (s) Surface phenomenon
Sol. Answer A(s), B(r), C(p), D(q)
Adsorption is a surface phenomenon but absorption is a bulk phenomenon. In desorption some adsorbed
substance is released.
The energy released in physical adsorption is 20–40 kJ/mol, as it is an exothermic process.
SECTION - E
Assertion-Reason Type Questions
1. STATEMENT-1 : During adsorption, H, G and S decreases i.e., its value becomes negative.
and
STATEMENT-2 : Adsorption is a spontaneous process as well as randomness or disorderedness decreases
during adsorption.
Sol. Answer (1)
Entropy decreases because randomness decreases and energy is released therefore H is –ve.
Hence statement (2) is the correct explanation of statement (1).
3. STATEMENT-1 : Al3+ ions have greater precipitating power for As2S3 than Na+ ions.
and
STATEMENT-2 : As2S3 sol is a negatively charged sol.
Sol. Answer (2)
As2S3 is –vely charged sol, hence, gets precipitated by +vely charged ions. Al3+ has greater charge as compared
to Na+.
Statement (1) & (2) both are correct but statement (2) is not the correct explanation.
4. STATEMENT-1 : An electrolyte having greater coagulating power has greater flocculation value.
and
STATEMENT-2 : Flocculation value of an electrolyte for different colloidal solutions is different.
Sol. Answer (4)
Flocculation value of an electrolyte is the minimum concentration in millimoles/L required to cause coagulation of
a sol and is different for different colloidal sols.

7. One gram of activated charcoal has a surface area of 10 3 m 2. If complete coverage by monolayer is
assumed, how much NH3 in cm3 at STP (to nearest integer) would be adsorbed on the surface of 25 g of
the charcoal? (Given diameter of NH3 molecule = 0.3 nm)
Sol. Answer (13)
Total surface area to be covered = 25 × 103 m
2r for NH3 = 0.3 × 10–9 nm
= 0.3 × 10–9 × 102 cm
= 0.3 × 10–7 cm
r = 1.5 × 10–8 cm
Surface area of 1 molecule = r2 = 3.14 × (1.5 × 10–8)2
= 7.065 × 10–16 cm2

8. 1 g of charcoal adsorbs 100 mL of 0.5 M CH3COOH to form a monolayer and thereby the molarity of
CH 3COOH reduces to 0.49. The surface area of charcoal adsorbed by each molecule of acetic acid is
5 × 10–x m 2. Then value of x is (Surface area of charcoal = 3.01 × 102 m 2/g)
Sol. Answer (19)
Millimole of acetic acid taken = 100 × 0.5 = 50
Millimole of acetic acid left = 100 × 0.49 = 49
Millimole of acetic acid adsorbed = 50 – 49 = 1
Molecules of acetic acid adsorbed = 1 × 10–3 × 6.023 × 1023 = 6.023 × 1020
Total area of 1 g charcoal covered by these molecules = 3.01 × 102 m2
3.01 102
Area covered by 1 molecule = (∵ unilayer adsorption)
6.023 1020
= 5 × 10–19 m2
