35 questions
Q56Written answer

Why is Fe(OH)3 colloid positively charged, when prepared by adding FeCl3 to hot water?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

When FeCl3 is added to hot water, the hydrated ferric oxide is formed. This hydrated ferric oxide preferably adsorbs Fe3+ ions resulting in the positively-charged colloid.

Q57Written answer

Why do physisorption and chemisorption behave differently with rising in temperature?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

In physisorption, with an increase in temperature, this bond between adsorbent and adsorbate weaker and the amount of adsorbate decrease whereas in chemisorption an amount of activation energy required for the formation of a bond between adsorbent and adsorbate which is achieved by increasing the temperature.

Q58Written answer

What happens when dialysis is prolonged?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

If the dialysis continues for a long time, the traces of electrolyte present in blood also get completely removed and blood coagulation occurs.

Q59Written answer

Why does the white precipitate of silver halide become coloured in the presence of dye eosin?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

The surface of silver halide acts as a good adsorbent. It can adsorb the pigments of eosin dye, which is coloured. Thus silver halide appears coloured.

Q60Written answer

What is the role of activated charcoal in a gas mask used in coal mines?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Activated charcoal acts as a good adsorbent as it is porous. In coal mines, the activated charcoal in a gas mask provides fresh air for inhaling.
