The expansion of unit mass of a perfect gas at constant pressure is shown in the diagram. Here(a) a = volume, b = °C temperature(b) a = volume, b = K temperature(c) a = °C temperature, b = volume(d) a = K temperature, b = volume

Answer»

Correct Option (c) a = °C temperature, b = volume

Explanation: 

In the given graph line have a positive slop with X-axis and negative intercept on Y-axis.

So we can write the equation of line y = mx - c                 ............(i)

According to Charle’s law Vt = V0/273t + V0, by rewriting this equation  we get 

t = (273/V0)Vt - 273       ......(ii)

By comparing (i) and (ii) we can say that time is represented on Y-axis and volume in X-axis.

Discuss the factors that influence the colour of colloidal solutions.

Answer»
  • Colour of colloidal solution depends on the wavelength of light scattered by dispersed particles.
  • The colour of colloidal dispersion also changes with the manner in which the observer receives the light.

How are colloids classified based on their molecular size?

Answer»

Colloids are classified into three types based on their molecular size as described below. 

i. Multimolecular colloids:

  • In multimolecular colloids, the individual particles consist of an aggregate of atoms or small molecules with size less than 10 pm. e.g. Gold sol consists of particles of various sizes having several gold atoms.
  • Colloidal solution in which particles are held together with van der Waals force of attraction is called multimolecular colloid.

e.g. S8 sulphur molecules

ii. Macromolecular colloids: 

In this type of colloids, the molecules of the dispersed phase are sufficiently large in size (macro) to be of colloidal dimensions. 

e.g. Starch, cellulose, proteins, polythene, nylon, plastics.

iii. Associated colloids or micelles:

  • The substances behave as normal electrolytes at low concentration and associated in higher concentration forming a colloidal solution. 
  • The associated particles are called micelles, 

e.g. Soaps and detergents

Aqueous solution of raw sugar, when passed over beds of animal charcoal, becomes colourless. Explain.

6116.

A gas is filled in the cylinder shown in the figure. The two pistons are joined by a string. If the gas is heated, the pistons will(a) Move towards left(b) Move towards right(c) Remain stationary(d) None of these
