Question 1.
For freudlich isotherm a graph of log \(\frac{x}{m}\) is plotted against log P. The slope of the line and its y – axis intercept respectively corresponds to
(a) \(1 / n\), k
(b) log \(1 / n\), k
(c) \(1 / n\), log k
(d) log \(1 / n\), log k
Answer:
(c) \(1 / n\), log k
\(\frac{x}{m}\) = \(\mathrm{k} \cdot \mathrm{p}^{1 / \mathrm{n}}\)
log\((\frac{x}{m})\) = log k + \(\frac { 1 }{ n }\)log p
y = c + mx
m = \(\frac { 1 }{ n }\) and c = log k
Question 2.
Which of the following is incorrect for physisorption?
(a) reversible
(b) increases with increase in temperature
(c) low heat of adsorption
(d) increases with increase in surface area
Answer:
(b) increases with increase in temperature
Physisorption is an exothermic process. Hence increase in temperature decreases the physisorption.
Question 3.
Which one of the following characteristics are associated with adsorption?
(a) ∆G and ∆H are negative but ∆S is positive
(b) ∆G and ∆S are negative but ∆H is positive
(c) ∆G is negative but ∆H and ∆S are positive
(d) ∆G. AH and ∆S all are negative.
Answer:
(d) ∆G, ∆H and ∆S all are negative.
Adsorption leads to decrease in randomness (entropy).i.e. ∆S < 0 for the adsorption to occur, ∆G should be – ve. We know that ∆G = ∆H – T∆S if ∆S is – ve, T∆S is + ve. It means that ∆G will become negative only when ∆H is – ve and ∆H > T∆S

Samacheer Kalvi 12th Chemistry Surface Chemistry Short Answer Questions
Question 1.
Give two important characteristics of physisorption.
Answer:
Important characteristics of physisorption:
- It is reversible
- It has low heat of adsorption
- It has weak van der Waals forces of attraction with adsorbent.
- It increases with increase in pressure.
- It forms multi molecular layer.
Question 2.
Differentiate physisorption and chemisorption.
Answer:
Chemical adsorption or Chemisorption or Activated adsorption
- It is very slow
- It is very specific depends on nature of adsorbent and adsorbate.
- chemical adsorption is fast with increase pressure, it can not alter the amount.
- When temperature is raised chemisorption first increases and then decreases.
- Chemisorption involves transfer of electrons between the adsorbent and adsorbate,
Heat of adsorption is high i.e., from 40 – 400kJ/mole.
- Monolayer of the adsorbate is formed.
- Adsorption occurs at fixed sites called active centres. It depends on surface area.
- Chemisorption involves the formation of activated complex with appreciable activation energy.
- Physical adsorption or van der Waals adsorption or Physisorptlon
- It is irreversible.
Physical adsorption or van der Waals adsorption or physisorption.
- It is instantaneous
- It is non-specific
- In Physisorption. when pressure increases the amount of adsorption increases.
- Physisorption decreases with an increase in temperature.
- No transfer of electrons
- Heat of adsorption is low in the order of 40 kJ/mole.
- Multilayer of the adsorbate is formed on the adsorbent.
- It occurs on all sides.
- Activation energy is insignificant.
- It is reversible.
Question 3.
In the case of chemisorption, why adsorption first increases and then decrease with temperature?
Answer:
1. Chemisorption involves high activation energy so it is also referred to as activated adsorption.
2. It is found in chemisorption that it first increases and then decreases with increase in temperature. When adsorption is plotted, the graph first increases and then decreases with temperature.
3. The initial increase illustrates the requirement of activation of the surface for adsorption is due to fact that the formation of activated complex requires certain energy. But later it decreases at high temperature is due to desorption as the kinetic energy of the adsorbate increases (exothermic nature)
Question 4.
Which will be adsorbed more readily on the surface of charcoal and why; NH3 or CO2?
Answer:
1. The gases having low critical temperature are adsorbed slowly, while gases with high critical temperature are adsorbed readily.
2. Among CO2, and NH3, NH3 will be more readily adsorbed on the surface of the charcoal. This is because the critical temperature of ammonia gas is quite high than the CO2. Hence, it easily combines with the materials than the CO2 whether it is solid, liquid or any gases.
Question 5.
Heat of adsorption is greater for chemisorptions than physisorption. Why?
Answer:
Chemisorption has higher heat of adsorption. because in chemisorption the chemical bonds are much stronger. In adsorbed state the adsorbate is hold on the surface of adsorbent by attractive forces (bond). And chemisorption is irreversible one. Therefore, heat of adsorption is greater for chenil sorptions than physisorption. Chemisorption, heat of adsorption range 40 – 400kJ/mole.
Question 6.
In a coagulation experiment 10 mL of a colloid (X) is mixed with distilled water and 0.1M solution of an electrolyte AB so that the volume is 20 mL. It was found that all solutions containing more than 6.6 mL of AB coagulate with in 5 minutes. What is the flocculation values of AB for sol (X)?
Answer:
A minimum of 6.6mL of AB is required to coagulate the sol. The moles of AB in the sol is
\(\frac{6.6 \times 0.01}{20}\) = 0.033 moles
This means that a minimum of 0.033 moles or 0.0033 x 1000 = 3.3 milli moles are required for coagulating one litre of sol. Flocculation value of AB for X = 3.3
Question 7.
Peptising agent is added to convert precipitate into colloidal solution. Explain with an example.
Answer:
1. Ions either positive or negative of peptizing agent (electrolyte) are adsorbed on the particles of precipitate. They repel and hit each other and break the particles of the precipitate into colloidal size.
2. For example, when we add a small volume of very dilute hydrochloric acid solution peptising agent to a fresh precipitate of a silver chloride, it leads to formation of silver chloride colloidal solution,
Question 8.
What happens when a colloidal sol of Fe(OH)3 and As2S3 are mixed?
Answer:
On mixing Fe(OH)3 positive sol and As2S3 negative sol, mutual coagulation occurs which causes precipitation. When these sol got mixed with each other, due to Fe3+ and S2- ions neutralisation of charges will happen and precipitate will be formed.
Fe(OH)3 + As2S3 → Fe2S3 + As(OH)3
Question 9.
What is the difference between sol and a gel?
Answer:
Sol
- The liquid state of a colloidal solution is called sol.
- The sol does not have a definite structure.
- The dispersion medium of the sol may be water.
- The sol can be converted to gel by cooling The sol can be easily dehydrated.
- The viscosity of the sol is very low.
- Sol is categorized into lyophobic and lyophilic sols.
- Example: Blood
Gel
- The solid or semi-solid state of a colloidal solution is called gel.
- The gel possesses honey comb-like structure.
- The dispersion medium of gel will be hydrated colloid particles.
- The gel can be converted sol by heating.
- The gel cannot be dehydrated.
- The viscosity of the gel is very high.
- There is no such classification of gel.
- Example: Fruit jelly, cooked gelatin jelly.
Question 10.
Why are lyophillic colloidal sols are more stable than lyophobic colloidal sol?
Answer:
1. A lyophilic colloidal sols are stable due to the charge and the hydration of sol particles.
2. Lyophilic sols are more stable than lyophobilc sols because they are highly hydrated in the solution. And since more is the hydration more will be its stability.
3. Lyophilic sols are stabilized by electrostatic charge and hydration where as lyophobile sols are only stabilized by charge, so they easily gets coagulated and requires a stabilising agent. Hence, lyophilic sols are more stable than lyophobilc sols.
Question 11.
Addition of Alum purifies water. Why?
Answer:
Purification of drinking water is activated by coagulation of suspended impurities in water using alums containing Al3+. That is why we are adding to purify water.
Question 12.
What are the factors which influence the adsorption of a gas on a solid?
Answer:
Factors which influence the adsorption of a gas on a solid is as follows:
1. Nature of the gas:
Easily liquefiable gases such as NH3, HCl etc are adsorbed to a great extent in comparison to gases such as H2, O2, etc. This is because van der Waal’s forces are stronger is easily liquifiable gases.
2. Surface area of the solid:
The greater the surface area of the adsorbent, the greater is the adsorption of gas on the solid surface.
3. Effect of pressure:
Adsorption is a reversible process and is accompanied by a decrease in pressure. Therefore, adsorption increases with an increase in pressure.
4. Effect of temperature:
Adsorption is an exothermic process. Thus in accordance with Le – Chatelier’s principle, the magnitude of adsorption decreases with an increase in temperature.
Question 13.
What are enzymes? Write a brief note on the mechanism of enzyme catalysis.
Answer:
Enzymes are complex protein molecules with three-dimensional structures. They catalyse the chemical reaction in a living organism. They are often present in colloidal state and extremely specific in catalytic action.
Each enzyme produced in a particular living cell can catalyse a particular reaction in the cell. Mechanism of enzyme catalysis: Mechanism of enzyme catalysed reaction is known as lock and key mechanism.
1. Enzymes arc highly specific in their action.
2. This specificity is due to the pressure of active sites. The shape of active site of any given enzyme is like cavity such that only a specific substrate can fit into it.
In the same way a key fits into lock. The specific binding needs the formation of an enzyme-substrate complex which accounts for high specificity of enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
3. Once the proper orientation is attained the substrate molecules react to form the product in two steps.
4. Since the product molecule does not have an affinity for the enzyme they leave the enzyme surface making room for the fresh substrate.
step 1: Formation of the enzyme-substrate complex
Step 2: Dissociation of the enzyme-substrate complex to form product
The rate of the formation of the product depends upon the concentration of ES.
Question 14.
What do you mean by activity and selectivity of catalyst?
Answer:
1. Activity of Catalyst:
The activity of a catalyst is its ability to increase the rate of a particular reaction, Chemisorption is the main factor in deciding the activity of a catalyst. The adsorption of reactants in the catalyst surface should be neither too strong nor too weak. It should just be strong enough to make the catalyst active.
2. Selectivity of the catalyst:
The ability of the catalyst to direct a reaction to yield a particular product is referred to as the selectivity of the catalyst. For example, by using different catalysts, we can get different products for the reaction between H2 and CO.
Question 15.
Describe some features of catalysis b Zeolites.
Answer:
- Zeolites are microporous, crystalline, hydrated aluminosilicates, made of silicon and aluminium tetrahedra.
- There are about 50 natural zeolites and 1 50 synthetic zeolites. As silicon is tetravalent and aluminium is trivalent, the zeolite matrix carries an extra negative charge. To balance the negative charge, there are extra framework cations, for example, H+ or Na+ ions.
- Zeolites earring protons are used as solid acids, catalysis and they are extensively used in the petrochemical industry for cracking heavy hydrocarbon fractions into gasoline, diesel, etc.
- Zeolites earring Na ions are used as basic catalysis.
- One of the most important applications of zeolites is their shape selectivity. In zeolites, the active sites namely protons are lying inside their pores. So, reactions occur only inside the pores of zeolites.
Question 16.
Give three uses of emulsions.
Answer:
- The cleansing action of soap is due to emulsions.
- It is used in the preparation of vanishing cream.
- It is used in the preparation of cold liver oil.
Question 17.
Why does the bleeding stop by rubbing moist alum?
Answer:
Blood is a colloidal sol. When we nib the injured part with moist alum then coagulation of blood takes place. Hence main reason is coagulation, which stops the bleeding. Therefore bleeding stop by rubbing moist alum.
Question 18.
Why is desorption important for a substance to act as good catalyst?
Answer:
Desorption is important for a substance to act as a good catalyst, so that after the reaction, the products found on the surface separate out (desorbed) to create free surface again for other reactant molecules to approach the surface and react. If desorption does not occur then other reactants are left with no space on the surface of the catalyst for adsorption and the reaction will stop.
Question 19.
Comment on the statement: Colloid is not a substance but it is a state of substance.
Answer:
The statement is true. Because the same substance may exist as a colloid under certain conditions and as a crystalloid under certain other conditions. For example. NaCl in water behaves as a crystalloid while in benzene, it behaves as a colloid. Similarly, dilute soap solution behaves
like a crystalloid while concentrated solutions behaves as a colloid. It is the size of the particles which matters. That is the state in which the substance exists. If the size of the particles lies in the range 1 nm to 1oo nm, it is in the colloidal state.
Question 20.
Explain any one method for coagulation
Answer:
The flocculation and setting down of the sol particles is called coagulation. Various method of coagulation are given below:
- Addition of electrolytes
- Electrophoresis
- Mining oppositely charged sols
- Boiling.
Addition of electrolytes
A negative ion causes the precipitation of positively charged sol and vice versa. When the valency of ion is high, the precipitation power is increased. For example, the precipitation power of some cations and anions varies in the following order
Al3+ > Ba2+ > Na+, Similarly [Fe(CN)6]-3 > SO4-2 > Cl–
The precipitation power of electrolyte is determined by finding the minimum concentration (millimoles/lit) required to cause precipitation of a sol in 2hours. This value is called the flocculation value. The smaller the flocculation value greater will be precipitation.
Question 21.
Write a note on electroosmosis.
Answer:
Electro osmosis:
A sol is electrically neutral. Hence the medium carries an equal but opposite charge to that of dispersed particles. When sol particles are prevented from moving, under the influence of electric field the medium moves in a direction opposite to that of the soil particles. This movement of dispersion medium under the influence of electric potential is called electro-osmosis.
Question 22.
Write a note on catalytic poison
Answer:
Catalytic poison:
Certain substances when added to a catalysed reaction, decreases or completely destroys the activity of catalyst and they are often known as catalytic poisons. For example, In the reaction,
2SO2 + O2 → 2SO3 with a Pt catalyst, the poison is AS2O3.
i.e., AS2O3 destroys the activity of pt. AS2O3 blocks the activity of the catalyst. So, the activity is lost.
Question 23.
Explain the intermediate compound formation theory of catalysis with an example.
Answer:
The intermediate compound formation theory:
A catalyst acts by providing a new path with low energy of activation. in homogeneously catalysed reactions a catalyst may combine with one or more reactant to form an intermediate which reacts with other reactant or decompose to give products and the catalyst is regenerated.
Consider the reactions:
A + B → AB ……………(1)
A + C → AC (intermediate) ………….(2)
C is the catalyst
AC + B → AB + C …………(3)
Activation energies for the reactions (2) and (3) are lowered compared to that of (1). Hence the formation and decomposition of the intermediate accelerate the rate of the reaction.
Example:
The mechanIsm of Fridel crafts reaction is given below
The action of catalyst is explained as follows .
This theory describes,
- The specificity of a catalyst.
- The increase in the rate of the reaction with increase in the concentration of a catalyst.
Limitations
- The intermediate compound theory fails to explain the action of catalytic poison and activators (promoters).
- This theory is unable to explain the mechanism of heterogeneous catalysed reactions.
Question 24.
What is the difference between homogenous and hetrogenous catalysis?
Answer:
Hornogenous Catalysis:
- In a catalysed reaction the reactants, products and catalyst are present in the same phase.
- For example.
Hence NO act as catalyst.
- Homogeneous catalysis explained by intermediate compound formation theory.
Heterogeneous Catalysis:
- In a reaction, the catalyst is present in a different phase. i.e., catalyst is not present in the same phase as that of reactants and products.
- For example.
Hence Pt(s) act as catalyst.
- Hetenogeneous catalysis explained by adsorption theory.
Question 25.
Describe adsorption theory of catalysis.
Answer:
Adsorption theory:
Langmuir explained the action of catalyst in heterogeneous catalysed reactions based on adsorption. The reactant molecules are adsorbed on the catalyst surfaces, so this can also he called as contaçt catalysis.
According to this theory, the reactants arc adsorbed on the catalyst surface to form an activated complex which subsequently decomposes and gives the product. The various steps involved in a heterogeneous catalysed rcacton arc given as follows:
- Reactant molecules diffuse from bulk to the catalyst surface.
- The reactant molecules are adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst.
- The adsorbed reactant molecules are activated and form activated complex which is decomposed to form the products.
- The product molecules are desorbed.
- The product diffuse away from the surface of the catalyst.
Advantages of adsorption theory:
The adsorption theory explains the following .
1. Increase in the activity of a catalyst by increasing the surface area. Increase in the surface area of metals and metal oxides by reducing the particle size increases the rate of the reaction.
2. The action of catalytic poison occurs when the poison blocks the active centres of the catalyst.
3. A promoter or activator increases the number of active centres on the surfaces.

Question 1.
Define
- Adsorbent
- Adsorbate with an example.
Answer:
- Adsorbent is a material on which adsorption takes place. eg., silica gel and metals like Ni, Cu, Pt.
- Adsorbate is a substance which is adsorbed on the adsorbent. e.g., Gaseous molecules like He, Ne, O2, N2 and solutions of NaCI (or) KCI.
Question 2.
Define
- Interface
- Desorption.
Answer:
1. Interface:
The surface of separation of the two phases where the concentration of adsorbed molecule is high is known as interface.
2. Desorption:
The process of removing an adsorbed substance from the substance is called desorption.
Question 3.
What is adsorption? What is meant by positive and negative adsorption?
Answer:
Adsorption is the odhesion of atoms, ions or molecules from a gas, liquid or dissolved solid to a surface. In adsorption, if the concentration of a substance in the interface is high, then it is called positive adsorption. 1f it is less, then it is called negative adsorption.
Question 4.
Define chemical adsorption? Give example.
Answer:
Chemical adsorption is a process in which gas molecules are held to the surface by formation of chemical bonds. e.g., Adsorption of O2 on tungsten, Adsorption of H2 on nickel.
Question 5.
Chemical adsorption is an exothermic process. Justify this statement.
Answer:
In chemical adsorption, gas molecules are held to the surface by the formation of strong bond. Due to this 400kJ/mole is given out as heat of adsorption. Since heat is evolved, it is an exothermic process.
Question 6.
Why physical adsorption take place at low temperature?
Answer:
In physical adsorption, the forces between the adsorbent and adsorbate are very weak, heat of adsorption is low and hence physical adsorption occurs at low temperature.
Question 7.
What are the forces exist in physical adsorption?
Answer:
In physical adsorption, physical forces like van der Waals force of attraction exist between adsorbent and adsorbate.
The other forces that can cause physical adsorption are
- dipole-dipole interaction
- dispersion forces.
Question 8.
What is physical adsorption? Give example.
Answer:
Physcial adsorption is a process in which adsorbate are attached to adsorbent by means of weak van der Waals forces of attraction. e.g.,
- Adsorption of N2 on mica
- Adsorption of gases on charcoal.
Question 9.
Finely divided Nickel is a better adsorbent than Nickel crystal.
Answer:
As the adsorption is a surface phenomenon it depends on the surface area of adsorbent. i.e., higher the surface area, higher is the amount adsorbed. Finely divided Nickel has longer surface area and it is a better adsorbent than Nickel crystal.
Question 10.
NH3, CO2 are readily adsorbed where as H2, N2 are slowly adsorbed. Give reason.
Answer:
1. The nature of adsorbate can influence the adsorption. Gases like NH3 CO2 are easily liquefiable as have greater van der Waals forces of attraction and hence readily adsorbed due to high critical temperature.
2. But permanent gases like H2, N2 can not be easily liquefied and having low critical temperature and adsorbed slowly.
Question 11.
What is meant by adsorption isotherm?
Answer:
A plot between the amount of adsorbate adsorbed and pressure or concentration of adsorbate at constant temperature is called adsorption isotherm.
Question 12.
Mention Freundlinch adsorption isothermal equation.
Answer:
Freundlinch adsorption isotherm
\(\frac{x}{m}=k p^{1 / n}\)
where x is the amount of adsorbate or adsorbed on ‘m’ gm of adsorbent at a pressure of p. k and n arc constants.
Question 13.
What are the limitations of Freundlich adsorption isotherm?
Answer:
- The Freundlich adsorption isotherm is purely empirical and valid over a limited pressure range.
- The values of constants ‘k’ and ‘n’ also found vary with temperature. No theoritical explanations were given.
Question 14.
How is adsorption applied in the decolourisation of sugar?
Answer:
Sugar prepared from molasses is decolourised to remove coloured impurities. Animcal charcoal is applied to adsorb colouring impurities and sugar is purified.
Question 15.

1. For a chemical reaction to occur, the reactants are to be activated to form a activated complex. The energy required for the reactants to reach the activated complex is called the activation energy. The activation energy can be decreased by increasing the reaction temperature.
2. In the presence of catalyst, the reactants are activated at reduced temperatures. i.e., the activation energy is lowered. The catalyst adsorbs the reactants activates them by weakening the bonds and allow them to react to form products.
3. As activation energy is lowered in the presence of a catalyst, more molecules take part in the reaction and hence the rate of the reaction increases.

Answer:
Lyophilic Sols:
Colloidal sols directly formed by rnixing substances like gums, gelatin, starch, rubber. etc. with a suitable liquid (The dispersion medium) are lyophilic sols. An important characteristic of these sols is that if the dispersion medium is separated from the dispersed phase
(say by evaporation) the sol can be reconstituted by simply remixing with the dispersion medium. That is why these sols are also called reversible sols. These sols are quite stable and cannot be easily coagulated.
Lyophobic sols:
These colloidal sols can only be prepared by some special methods. These sols are readily precipitated on the addition of small amount of electrolytes, by heating or by shaking and hence are not stable.
Hydrophobic sols are water hating. They are formed by indirect method. These sols are irreversible sols. These sols are readily precipitated by the addition of small amount of electrolytes, by heating or by shaking and hence are not stable.

3. Chemisorption involves the formation ofa chemical bond between adsorbent and adsorbate molecule which involves high energy changes while in physisorption, the molecules of adsorbate and adsorbent arc held by weak van der Waals’ interactions.
Question 49.
What is adsorption? How does adsorption ola gas on a solid surface vary with pressure? Illustrate with the help of an appropriate graph.
Answer:
Adsorption is the phenomenon of attracting and retaining the molecules of a substance on the surface of a liquid or a solid, resulting in higher concentration of the molecules on the surface.
Effect of pressure:
At constant temperature, the adsorption of gas increases with increase of pressure of the gas. At low pressure. it increases rapidly. At an equilibrium pressure. the extent of adsorption (x/m) reaches its maximum value after which adsorption is independent of pressure.
\(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{kP}^{1 / \mathrm{n}}\)
Question 50.
How do size of particles of adsorbent, pressure of a gas and prevailing temperature influence of extent of adsorption of a gas on a solid?
Answer:
1. Effect of size of the particles of adsorbent: Greater the specific area of the solid available for adsorption of adsorbent, greater would be its adsorbing power. That is why porous or finely divided forms of adsorbents more strongly. However, the size of pores should be large enough to allow the diffusion of gas molecules.
2. Effect of pressure:
Increase in pressure initially increases the adsorption which later attains equilibrium at high pressure.
\(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{kP}^{1 / \mathrm{n}}\) (n>1)

Question 1.
What is adsorption isotherm? Explain about Freundlich adsorption isotherm.
Answer:
1. Adsorption isotherms represents the variation of adsorption at constant temperature. Adsorption isoterm can be studied quantitatively.
2. A plot between the amount of adsorbate adsorbed and pressure or concentration of adsorbate at constant temperature is called adsorption isotherms.
3. Freundlich adsorption isotherm. According to Freundlich
\(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{kP}^{1 / \mathrm{n}}\)
Where x is the amount of adsorbate (or) adsorbed on ‘m’ gm of adsorbent at a pressure of P. k and n are constants. Value of’n’ is always less than unity.
4. This equation is applicable for adsorption of gases on solid surfaces. The Same equation becomes \(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{kc}^{1 / \mathrm{n}}\) when used for adsorption in solutions with ‘c’ as concentration.
5. These equation quantitatively predict the effect of pressure (or concentration) on the adsorption of gases (or adsorbates) at constant temperature.
6. Taking log on both sides of equation
\(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{kP}^{1 / \mathrm{n}}\)
log \(\frac { x }{ m }\) = log k + \(\frac { 1 }{ n }\) log P
7. Hence the intercept represents the value of log k and the slope \(\frac { b }{ q }\) gives \(\frac { 1 }{ n }\)
8. This equation explains the increase of with increase in pressure. But experimental values shows the deviation at low pressure.
9. Limitations:
- This equation is purely empirical and valid over a limited pressure range.
- The value of k and n also found vary with temperatures. No theoretical explanations were given.
Question 2.
Define catalyst. What are the characteristics of catalysts?
Answer:
A catalyst is defined as a substance which alters the rate of chemical reaction without itself undergoing chemical change.
Characteristics of catalyst:
1. For chemical reaction, catalyst is needed in very small quantity. Generally, a pinch of catalyst is enough for a reaction in bulk.
2. There may be some physical changes, but the catalyst remains unchanged in mass and chemical composition in a chemical reaction.
3. A catalyst itself cannot initiate a reaction. It means it cannot start a reaction which is not taking place. Rut, lithe reaction is taking place in a slow rate it can increase its rate.
4. A solid catalyst will be more effective if it is taken in a finely divided form.
5. A catalyst can catalyse a particular type of reaction, hence they are said to be specific in nature.
6. In an equilibrium reaction, presence of catalyst reduces the time for attainment of equilibrium and hence it does not affect the position
of equilibrium and the value of equilibrium constant.
7. A catalyst is highly effective at a particular temperature called as optimum temperature.
8. Presence of a catalyst generally does not change the nature of products.
9. For example 2SO2 + O2 → 2SO3
This reaction is slow in the absence of a catalyst, but fast in the presence of Pt catalyst.
Question 3.
What is enzyme catalysis? Give the characteristics of enzyme catalysed reaction?
Answer:
Enzymes are complex protein molecules with three dimensional structures. They catalyse the chemical reaction in living organism. They are often present in colloidal state and extremely specific in catalytic action. This process is called enzyme catalysis.
Special characteristics of enzyme catalysis:
1. Effective and efficient conversion is the special characteristic of enzyme catalysed reactions. An enzyme may transform a million molecules of reactant in a minute.
For e.g., 2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2
For this reaction, activation energy is 1 8k.cal/mole without a catalyst. With colloidal platinum as a catalyst, the activation energy is 11.7 k.cal/mole. But with the enzyme catalyst. the activation energy of this reaction is less than 2 k.cal / mole.
2. Enzyme catalysis is highly specific in nature.
H2N – CO – NH2 + H2O → 2NH3 + H2O
The enzyme urcase which catalyses the reaction of urea does not catalyse the hydrolysis of methyl urea (NH2 – CO – NHCH3)
3. Enzyme catalysed reaction has maximum rate at optimum temperature. At first rate of the reaction increases with increase of temperature, but above a particular temperature, the activity of enzyme is destroyed. The rate may even drop to zero. The temperature at which enzyrnic activity is high (or) maximum is called as optimum temperature. e.g., enzyme involved in human body have an optimum temperature 37°C / 98°F.
4. The rate of enzyme catalysed reactions varies with the pH of the system. The rate is maximum at a pH called optimum pH.
5. Enzymes can be inhibited i.e., poisoned. Activity of an enzyme is decreased and destroyed by a poison. The physiological action of drugs is related to their inhibiting action. e.g.. sulpha drugs, penicillin inhibits the action of bacteria and used for curing diseases like
pneumonia, dysentery, cholera.
6. Catalytic activity of enzymes is increased by coenzymes or activators. A small non protein (vitamin) called a coenzyme promotes the catalytic activity of enzyme.
Question 4.
Explain about phase transfer catalysis.
Answer:
1. Consider the reactant of a reaction is present in one solvent and the other reactant is present in an another solvent. The reaction between them is very slow, if the solvents are immisible.
2. As the solvents form separate phases, the reactants have to migrate across the boundary to react. But migration of reactants across the boundary is not easy. For such situation, a third solvent is added which is miscible with both. So, the phase boundary is eliminated the reactants freely mix and react fast.
3. But for large scale preparation of any product, use of a third solvent is not convenient as it may be expensive. For such problems, phase transfer catalysis provides a simple solution, which avoids the use of solvents.
4. it directs the use of a phase transfer catalyst (a phase transfer reagent) to facilitate transport of a reactant in one solvent to other solvent where the second reactant is present. As the reactants are now brought together, they rapidly react and form the product.
5. Example – Substitution of C1 and CN in the following reaction.
R Cl = 1 – chloro octane
R CN = 1 – cyano octane
6. By direct heating of two phase mixture of organic 1 – chioro Octane with aqueous sodium cyanide for several days, 1 – cyano octane is not obtained. However, if a small amount of quarternary ammonium salt like tetra alkyl ammonium cation which has hydrophobic and hydrophilic ends, transports CN – from the aqueous phase to the organic phase using its hydrophilic end and facilitates the reactions with 1 – chloro octane as shown below
7. So phase transfer catalyst, speeds up the reaction by transporting one reactant from one phase to another.

5. Decomposition:
When few drops of an acid is added to a dilute solution of sodium thiosulphate, sulphur colloid is produced by the decomposition of sodium thio sulphate.
S2O32- + 2H+ → S(sol) + H2O + SO2
7. Describe about the properties of colloids.
Answer:
1. Colour:
The colour of a sol is not always the same as the colour of the substance in the bulk. For example, bluish tinge is given by diluted milk in reflected light and reddish tinge in transmitted light.
2. Size:
The size of colloidal particles ranges from Imp to 1pm diameter.
3. Colloidal solutions are heterogeneous in nature:
They have two distinct phases. Experiments like dialysis. ultrafiltration show the heterogeneous in nature but they are considered as borderline cases.
4. Filterability:
As the size of pores in ordinary filter paper are large, the colloidal particles easily pass through the ordinary filter papers.
5. Non setting nature:
Colloidal solutions are quite stable i.e., they are not affected by gravtiy.
6. Concentration and density:
When the colloidal solution is dilute, it is stable. When the volume of medium is decreased, coagulation occurs. Density of sol decreases with
decrease in the concentration.
7. Diffusability:
Unlike true solution, colloids diffuse less readily through membranes.
8. Colligative properties:

Question 8.
Explain about Electrophoresis (or) Cataphoresis (or) How would you detect the presence of charges on sol particles? (or) Explain about the method used to detect the presence of charge on sol particles. Electrophoresis (or) cataphoresis:
Answer:
1. When electric potential is applied across two platinum electrodes dipped in a hydrophilic sol, the dispersed particles move toward one or other electrode. This migration of sol particles under the influence of electric field is called electrophoresis.
2. If the sol particles migrate to the cathode, then they possess positive charges and if the sol particles migrate to the anode, they have negative charges. Thus from the direction Afiet of migration of sol particles, we can determine the charge of the sol particles. Hence electrophoresis is used for the detection of presence of change on the sol particles.

Answer:
1. Emulsions arc colloidal solution in which a liquid dispersed in another liquid.
2. Two types of emulsions
- Oil in Water (O/W) e.g., mayonnaise
- Water in Oil (W/O) e.g., Butter
3. The process of preparation of emulsion by the dispersal of one liquid in another liquid is called emulsification.
4. Identification of types of emulsions. The two types of emulsions can be identified by the following tests
- Dye test – A small amount of dye soluble in oil is added to emulsion. The emulsion is shaken well. The aqueous emulsion will not take the colour whereas oily emulsion will take up the colour of the dye.
- Viscosity test – Viscosity of the emulsion is determined by experiments. Oily emulsions will have higher value than aqueous emulsions.

Question 12.
Illustrate with examples.
- Lyophilic and Lyophobic sols
- Homogeneous and Heterogeneous catalysis.
Answer:
1. The substances such as proteins, starch, rubber, etc. directly passes into the colloidal state when brought in contact with the solvent. Such colloids are known as lyophillic sols, The substances like metals, their suiphides. hydroxides, etc. do not form colloidal sol readily when mixed with dispersion medium. The colloidal sols can only be prepared by some special methods. Such sols are called lyophobic sols.
2. Homogeneous catalysis:
Here the reactants and catalyst are present in the same phase. For example, lead chamber process for the manufacture of H2SO4.
Heterogeneous catalysis:
Here the reactants and catalyst are present in different phases. For example, contact process for manufacture of H2SO4.
