The electrical charge on a colloidal particle is observed by:
-
Solution
The electrical change on a colloidal particle is observed by electrophoresis. Under electric field, charged particles move in a particular direction.
Among the following, the surfactant that will form micelles in aqueous solution at the lowest molar concentration at ambient condition is : –
According to Freundlich adsorption isotherm which of the following is correct?
-
Solution
The Freundlich adsorption isotherm is mathematically represented as
\(\frac{x}{m} \propto p^{\frac{1}{n}}\)At high pressure 1/n= 0. Hence, \(\frac{x}{m} \propto p^{0}\)
At low pressure 1/n = 1 Hence, \(\frac{x}{m} \propto p^{1}\)

-
Soap dispersed in water
-
Protein dispersed in water

Bredig arc method cannot be used to prepare colloidal solution of which of the following
-
Pt
-
Fe
-
Ag
-
Au
-
Solution
Bredig’s arc method is suitable for the preparation of colloidal solution of metals like gold, silver, platinum etc. An arc is struck between the metal electrode under the surface of water containing some stabilzing agent such as a trace of KOH. However, Fe does not react with alkalies that is why it is not obtained by Bredig’s-arc method.

-
Silver
-
Lead
-
Gold
-
Mercury
-
Solution
Purple of cassius is colloidal solution of gold.
The efficiency of an enzyme in catalysing a reaction is due to its capacity
-
to form a strong enzyme-substrate complex
-
to decrease the bond energies of substrate molecule
-
to change the shape of the substrate molecule
-
to lower the activation energy of the reaction
-
Solution
Efficiency of catalysing property of a catalyst is inversely proportional to activation energy.
