Therefore, adsorption is directly proportional to the surface area. A finely divided substance has large suface aea, Soth physisortion and chemisorption increase with an increase in the surface area. Hence, a finely divided substance behaves asa good adsorbent. 15. What do you understand by activation ofan adsorbent? How sit achieved? (ncert) Solution By activating an adsorbent, we increase the adsorbing power ofthe adsorbent. Some ofthe ways to activate an adsorbent are a) Byincreasing the surfce area ofthe adsorbent.

Due to this energy is released and thus heat of adsorption is negative, that i adsorption i always exothermic, Further physical adsorption involves weak forces of attraction, heat evolved is less whereas chemical adsorption involves strong forces of attraction, and heat evolved Is much higher. 6. Adsorption is accompanied by a decrease in entropy, yet It isa spontaneous process. Explain. Solution [Adsorption fs always exothermic and takes place with a decrease in both Gibbs eneray (AG <0) and entropy (AS <0). Fora reaction for process to be spontaneous, there must be decrease In Gbbs energy ofthe system that i, AG ofthe system must have negative value, Also we know that AG= AH ~ TAS, During this process of adsorption, randomness of the molecule decreases, that i AS is ‘negative, Therefore for @ reaction to be spontaneous AW has tobe negative and |aM|> TAS) 7.

Why sa catalyst in the finely divided form preferred? Solution ‘The more finely divided the catalysts faster isthe reaction. A powdered catalyst will normally produce a faster reaction than f the same mass s present as 2 single lump. The powdered solid has a greater surface area than the single lump.

What are the factors that influence the adsorption of gases ona solid surface?

However, easly lquefiable gases such as NH, HCl CO,, etc, are adsorbed to greater extent whereas H,,O;, Np etc are adsorbed to lesser extent (b) Nature of adsorbent: Activated carbon, metal oxides lke aluminium oxide slica gel and cay are commonly used adsorbents ‘They have thelr specific adsorption properties depending upon pores. (c)_ Surface area of the adsorbent: The greater the surface area, more willbe the extent of adsorption. Thats why porous or finely divided forms of adsorbents adsorb larger quantities of adsorbate, Pressure ofthe gas: Physical adsorption increases with increase in pressure.

Name two physical quantities that remain unaffected when a reversible reaction i cared outin the presence ofa catalyst. Solution ‘A catalyst has effect neither on the relative energies ofthe reactants and products, nr on the equllibrlum constant, Ka. It merely speeds up the reaction, thus allowing it to reach equilibrium more quickly. Thus, the two physical quantities that remain unaffected when a reversible reaction scarred out in the presence of a catalyst are enthalpy change and equilibrium constant, 5. What types of building blocks are present inthe structure of zeolites? What this structure called? Solution Zeolites are microporous aluminosilicates of genera formula Myy[(AIO;),SIO;),}mH;0 where n is the charge on the metal Cation Mand m is the number of water molecules of hydration which is highly variable. Zeolites may be considered as open structures of silica in which some silicon atoms are replaced by aluminium atoms giving Al-O-Si framework. The structure of zeolites consists of truncated octahedra as the building block. This structure is called B-cage or the sodalite cage. Every vertex ofthe truncated octahedron represents aSi (or Al) atom. Every line ofthe cage represents an ~~ linkage (Fig 59) Figure 5.9 6. Somezeolites ae used to separate long straight chain hydrocarbons from branched chain hydrocarbons ina petrochemical industry Explain how this separation s possible. Solution Zeolites are usually microporous. The pore size varies between 260 pm and 749 pr. Thus. only the molecules that are very small in size can be adsorbed by them. The larger molecules are not able to enter the pores. Thus, zeoltes act as selective adsorbents or as ‘molecular sieves Its for this reason that sodium aluminium silicate can adsorb straight cain hydrocarbons and not eranched chain ‘or aromatic ones, Hence, zeolites are used to separate long straight chaln hydrocarbons from branched chain hydrocarbons ina pet rachemical industry 1.

Describe the fllowing: a) Tyndal eect and (b)shape-selectve catalysis, (CBSE 2010) Solution () Tyndall eect: When a strong beam of lights passed through a true solution placed ina beaker ina dak room, the path ofthe light does not become visible; but ifthe light is passed through a sol placed in the same room, the path of the light becomes. visible when viewed from a direction at right angle to that ofthe incident beam. This effect i called as Tyndall effect. The cause ‘of Tyndall effect isthe scattering of ight by the colloidal particle, that is, the particles fist absorb the incident ight and then a partof it gets scattered, Thus, colloidal solutions show Tyndall effect, true solutions do not show any Tyndall effect. ‘Shape-selective catalysis: The catalytic reaction which depends on she pore structures ofthe catalyst and the size ofthe reac- tant and produet molecules is called shape-selectve catalysis. Zeolites ate good shape selective catalysts because of thei hon- eycomb-lke structures. These are microporous aluminoslicates and have an enormous surface area which i largely on the: inside of the sold The selectivity ofthe catalyst depends on the structure ofthe pores. 5.3 COLLOIDS and 5.4 CLASSIFICATION OF COLLOIDS Conceptual Questions 1. How does the addition of lum purty water? Solution ‘Alums widely used inthe purification of drinking water in industries. Ina tank, a small amount of alum is added! tothe water so that the negatively charged light colloidal parts stick together and become heavy thats, flocculate when alum neutralizes the colloidal particles by loading its aluminium ions with the colloidal parts, When the colloidal parts become heavy, they can be easly separated from the tank and chirination of water can be carted out fr further purification, 2. Why sa colloidal sol stable? Solution Lyophobic sols ae stabilized by the presence of like charges on colloidal particles. Due to the presence of like charges, colloidal par ‘cles repel each other and move away from each other and thus do not coalesce to form bigger agaregates. However, the coagula: ton begins immediately on the removal of the charge. Stability of yophilc colloids is fortwo reasons. Their particles possess acharge, and in addition, they are heavily solvated and the solvent layer surrounding them prevents them from coming into intimate Contac with each other. Hence their coagulation is prevented, For example, when sodium chloride is added to a gold so, it gets precipitated. However, when sadium chloride is added to a colloidal :oltion of gelatin, is parieles are not precipitated. This because the wate layer around gelatin particles does not allow Na" ions to penetrate and destroy the charge on gelatin particles, 3. What type of solution Is formed by NaCI In benzene? Solution Solution of sodium chloride in benzene isa suspension. What happens when a colloidal ol of Fe(OH); ismixed with that ofAs:53? Solution When Fe(OH), and As,S, are mixed in proper proportions, these get precipitated, Tis is because Fe(OH) is positively charged, whereas As,5; Isa negatively charged so 5. What happens when persistent dialysis ofa colloidal solution is cartied out? Solution The stability of colloidal sols due tothe presence ofa small amount of electrolyte. I the electrolyte is completely removed by per- sistent dialysis the particles left will get coagulated. 66 Frequently, preparation ofa collold such a a protein can be made more table if the colloid is dialyzed. Whys this so? Solution ‘This is because dialysis helps in removing undesirable lons from a colloidal preparation, which tend to destabilize the colloid, Office.; 606 , 6” Floor, Hariom Tower, Circular Road, Ranchi-1, Ph.: 0861-2662623, 2695608612, 7646846949, NEWTONCLASSES.NET SURFACE CHEMISTRY [DRILL ASSIGNMENT] CLASS - XI 17. Which one of the following electrolytes is mos effective forthe coagulation of Fe(OH}, sol and why: NaCl, Na,S0,,N3,PO,? Solution To coagulate a postive sol such as Fe(OH the coagulating power of lifferent anions has been found to decrease inthe order: 0} > S02 > Cr Tiss because the coagulating power ofan electrolyte is directly proportional to the valence ofthe active tons ‘ions causing coagulation) 1. State Hardy-Schulze rule, Give reasons for development of charge on colloidal particles. Solution ‘According to Hardy Schulze rule, greaterthe valence ofthe active on or flocculatng lon, greater wil be ts coagulating power. Thus Hardy-Schulze lw stats: “The ons carrying the charge opposite to that of sol particles are effective in causing coagulation of the so. ()Coagulating power ofan electrolytes directly proportional tothe valence o the active ions ions causing coagulation). ‘Origin of charge on colloidal particles: There are several views regarding the origin of charge on colloidal particles. According to these views, colloidal particles acquire charge due to the following reasons. (a) Due to dissociation ofthe adsorbed molecular electrolytes: Colloidal particles havea strong tendency to adsorb reactant ‘or product molecules, The molecules thus adsorbed on the surface of colloidal particles may undergo dlssoclation/lonization ‘and may impart charge to them. For example, during the preparation of sulphide sos (2, Asa; Sol, HaS molecules get ‘adsorbed on colloidal particles. H,S molecules thus adsorbed undergo lonization and release HJons into the medium, Consequently, colloidal panicles are left with negative charge ‘Due to the dissociation of molecules forming colloidal aggregates: The molecules responsible forthe formation of aggre- {gates of colloidal dimensions may themselves undergo dissoclatiorvionzation resulting in the development of charge onthe Colloidal particles formed by their aggregation. For example, the soap molecules (COON) dissociate to glve RCOO™ and Na fons. COO” ions aggregate together to form micelles which carry negative charge as explained earlier ‘Due to preferential adsorption of ions from solutions: The colloidal particles have a tendency to preferentially adsorb a particular type of ons from the solution. A colloidal particle usualy adsorbs those lons which aren excess and are common to Its own lattice. This preferential adsorption of a particular type oflons imparts a particular charge to colloidal particles. For ‘example, when a ferric hydroxide sols prepared by the hydrolysis offerte chloride in warm water, the colloidal particles of Fe(OH); formed have a tendency to adsor® preferentially the Fe?” lons present Inthe solution. This is because Fe" ions are ‘common tothe lattice of Fe(OH), particles. The Fe ions thus adsorbed, impart positive charge to the colloidal particles pres fentin the so ‘8. What modification can you suggest inthe Hardy-Schulze law? (weer) Solution Hardy-Schulze law takes into consideration only the charge carried by an fon, not its size. The smaller the size of an fon, the more vill be its polarizing power. Thus, Hardy-Schulze law can be modifedin terms of the polaiing power of the flocculatng lon. Thus, the modified Hardy-Schulze law can be stated as"the greater the polarizing power ofthe flocculating ion added, the greater sits ‘power to cause precipitation Explain whats observed (a) when a beam of light s passed through a colloidal sol (b) anelectroiyte, NaClis added to hydrated ferric onde so, (2) electric currents passed through a colloidal sof? (weer) Solution (2) When a beam of lights passed through a colloidal solution, then scattering of ight is observed. This is known asthe Tyndall effect. This catering of ligt iluminates the path of the beam in the colloidal solution. (b) When NaCl is added toferic oxide sol, it dissociates to glve Na and CI ions Particles of eric oxide sol are postvely charged. Thus, they get coagulated in the presence of negatively charged CI” ions. {€) The colloidal particies ae charged and carry elthera postive or negative charge. The dispersion medium carries an equal ‘and opposite charge. This makes the whole system neutral. Under the influence ofan electric curent, the colloidal particles ‘move towards the oppositely charged electrode. When they come in contact with the electrode, they lose ther charge and coagulate. 111. Comment on the statement that ‘colloid isnot a substance but a state of substance’ (ncerT) Solution Te same substance may exet as colloid under certain condition and as crystallolds under certain other conditions. When the sie ofthe solute particle ies between 1 nm and 1000 nm, it behaves asa colloid. Hence, we can say that colloid snot a substance but a state ofthe substance which s dependent onthe size ofthe particle. A coloidal states intermediate between a tue slution and ‘suspension. For example, sulphur isa substance, but colloidal sulphur s sulphur dispersed in water, in which sulphur atoms com bine to form multimolecules.

(ncerr Solution The stabiliy of hydrophilic sols depends on two things —the presence of a charge and the solvation of colloidal particles. On the ‘other hand: the stability of hydrophobic sls i only because ofthe presence ofa charge. Therefore, the latter are much less stable than the former. the charge of hydrophobic sols is removed (oy addition of electrolytes) then te particles present in them come coer and fom aggregates, leading to precipitation, 115. What isthe difference between multimolecular and macromolecular colle? Give one example ofeach. How are associated col loids citferent from these two types of colloids? (NCERT) Solution Inmultimolecula colloids, the colloidal particles are an aggregate of atoms orsmall molecules witha diameter ofless than 1 nm. The ‘molecules inthe aggregate are held together by van der Waals forces of attraction. Examples of such colloids include god sol and Silphur ol, In macromolecular colloids the colloidal partcies are large molecules having colloidal dimensions. These particles have {high molecular mass. When these particles ae dissolved in liquid, sols obtained. For example, starch, nylon cellulose ec. Certain substances tend to behave like normal electrolytes at lower concentrations.

The mole cules in the aggregates ae held together by van der Waals forces. Macromolecular colloids: Macromolecular colloidal particles ae formed when on dissolution ina suitable solvent, the ‘macromolecules have sizes which ae in the colloidal range. Naturally occuring macromolecules ae starch, proteins and cellulose, Manmade macromolecules are polymers such as polyethylene, nylon and polystyrene. These colllds are quite stable and resemble true solutions in many respects ‘Associated colloids: Certain substances behave as strong electrolytes at low concentration but at higher concentrations these substances exhibit colloidal characteristics due tothe formation of aggregated particles.

Solution “There are two factors which are responsible for the stability of lyopilc sols, These factors are the charge and solvation of the cl loidal particles. When these two factors are removed, a yophilic sol can be coagulated. This is done by adding an electrolyte or by adding a suitable solvent. When solvent such as alcohol and acetone are added to hydrophilic sols the dehydration of dispersed ‘Bhase occurs. Under this condition, small quantity of electrolyte can bring about coagulation oflyophii sol. 10. How s Tyndall effect used to dlstingush between colloids and true solutions? Solution When a trong beam of lights passed through a colloidal solution, the path of light becomes visible when viewed from a direction at right angles to that of the incident light. This occurs because the colloidal particles absorb light energy and then scatter tinal ‘directions. The phenomenon of sattering of ight by sol particles to form illuminated beam or cones called Tyndall effect. Tyndall effec snot shown by true solutions because the ions or solute molecules ae of such minute sizes that they cannot reflect light. This effect can therefore be used to distinguish between a tre solution and a colloidal solution. 111. How can ophobic sols be protected by the addition of lyophilic sols? Solution ‘visknown that yophobic sols are unstable. lyophobic sol may be protected by theadaition ofa yophilic sol. Ithas been observed ‘that lyophilic sols protect a lyophobic sol by preventing i from coagulating in the presence of an electolyte. A possible reason ‘might be that the lyophilccollodal particles form a protective layer around the lyophoble particles. 112, Define the terms: (a) Electrophoresis (b) dialysis (@) mutual coagulation and (a) electo-osmoss.

The process called mutual coagulation In order to bring about ‘mutual coagulation, the two colloids must be mixed in proper proportions. For example when Fe(OH) and ASS are mixed in ‘proper proportion, these get precipitated. Colloidal particles cary ether positive or negative charge andthe sl asa whole electrically neutral, Therefore, the dispersion ‘medium carries an equal but opposite charge to that of the colloidal particles. Thus, the dispersion medium will move oppo site direction to the dispersed phase under the influence of an electric ile.

Colloids in which particles of dispersed phase have no or litle affinity forthe dispersion medium are called Iyophobic colloids. For example, metals sulphides (A553). ‘yophobic colloids can be easly precipitated (r coagulate) n addition of small amounts of electrolytes, by heating or by shaking Hence, they are not stable. On the other hand, jyophiic colloids ate not easly coagulated, Ths is because the dispersed phase in 2 'yophilic colloid adsorbs the solvent ands dstributed evenly in the medium.
