Question 1.


Which of the following statements are true about peptization? A. A colloidal sol is converted into precipitate B. It is done in the presence of a small electrolyte C. Charges develop on the precipitate during this process D. The charges developed during this process further breaks up into smaller particles of the size of colloids.


  1.     A,B,D
  2.     A,B,C
  3.     B,C,D
  4.     A,B,C,D
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> B,C,D
:
C

During peptization, precipitate is converted into a colloidal sol by shaking it with dispersion medium in the presence of a small amount of electrolyte.


Question 2.


Which of the following properties of colloids involve scattering of lights?


  1.     Colligative properties
  2.     Tyndall effect
  3.     Brownian movement
  4.     None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Tyndall effect
:
B

The Tyndall effect is due to the fact that colloidal particles scatter light in all directions in space.


Question 3.


The volume of colloidal particle Vc as comapred to the volume of solute particle in a true solution Vs could be


  1.     VcVs=1
  2.     VcVs=1023
  3.     VcVs=103
  4.     VcVs=103
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> VcVs=103
:
D

Diameter of colloidal particle is about 10 times larger than solute particles in a true solution. Hence, volume is about 1000 times greater i.e. VcVs=103 


Question 4.


Zeta potential ( or electrokinetic potential ) is the


  1.     potential required to bring about coagulation of a colloidal sol
  2.     potential required to give the particles a speed of 1 cm/ sec in the sol
  3.     potential difference between fixed charged layer and diffused layer having opposite charge
  4.     potential energy of colloidal particles
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> potential difference between fixed charged layer and diffused layer having opposite charge
:
C

Zeta potential is the potential difference between fixed charge layer and diffused layer having opposite charge


Question 5.


104 g of gelatin is required to be added to 100 cm3 of a stanadard gold solution to just prevent its precipitation by addition of 1 cm3 of 10% NaCl solution to it. Hence, gold number of gelatin is?


  1.     10
  2.     1
  3.     0.1
  4.     0.01
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 0.01
:
D

104g=0.1mg
100 cm3 of gold sol require 0.1 mg
10 cm3 of gold sol will required 0.01 mg
Hence, gold number = 0.01.
 


Question 6.


Which of the following does not affect the Brownian movement:


  1.     Nature of colloid
  2.     Size of the particles
  3.     Viscosity of the solution
  4.     None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Nature of colloid
:
A

This motion is independent of the nature of the colloid but depends on the size of the particles and viscosity of the solution.


Question 7.


Arrange the following in the decreasing order of their coagulation power: Al3+,Na+,Ca2+ 


  1.     Al3+=Ca2+=Na+
  2.     Na+>Ca2+>Al3+ 
  3.     Na+>Al3+>Ca2+ 
  4.     Al3+>Ca2+>Na+ 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Al3+>Ca2+>Na+ 
:
D

Greater the valency of the flocculating ion added, greater is its power to cause precipitation (Hardy Schulze rule).


Question 8.


Ferric chloride is added to stop bleeding because


  1.     Fe3+ ions coagulate positively charged blood solution
  2.     Fe3+ ions coagulate negatively charged blood solution
  3.     Cl ions coagulate positively charged blood solution
  4.     Cl ions coagulate negatively charged blood solution
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Fe3+ ions coagulate negatively charged blood solution
:
B

Negatively charged blood solution is coagulated by Fe3+ ions.


Question 9.


Milk can be preserved by adding a few drops of


  1.     Formic acid solution 
  2.     Formaldehyde solution
  3.     Acetic acid solution
  4.     Acetaldehyde solution
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Formaldehyde solution
:
B

Formaldehyde is an emulsifier


Question 10.


Silver iodide is used in bringing about artificial rain because silver iodide


  1.     is easily decomposed in presence of sunlight
  2.     contains iodide ions which are large in size
  3.     has crystal structure similar to ice and leads to coagulation
  4.     being heavy, its spray brings the water droplets down
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> has crystal structure similar to ice and leads to coagulation
:
C

Ag+I ions brings about coagulation of water droplets easily.
