Short Answer TypeAnswer:
When alum (Al2(SO4)3 is added into water. It forms a gel like precipitate such as Al(OH)3 . The alum precipitate then forms small bundles that trap suspended particles as they fall through water.
This process is known as floculation.
After floculation the particles will be large enough to settle and can be removed.
(a) How can a colloidal solution and true solution of the same colour be distinguished from each other ?
(b) List four applications of adsorption.
Explain the following observations:
(a) Lyophilic colloids are more stable than lyophobic colloid.
(b) Coagulation takes place when sodium chloride solution is added to a colloidal solution of ferric hydroxide.
(c) Sky appears blue in colour.
(a) In which of the following does adsorption take place and why?
(i) Silica gel placed in the atmosphere saturated with water.
(ii) Anhydrous CaCl2 placed in the atmosphere saturated with water.
(b) How does BF3 act as a catalyst in industrial process?
(c) Give an example of shape selective catalysis.
Long Answer Type(a) Of NH3 and CO2 which will be adsorbed more readily on the surface of charcoal and why?
