A `1 cm xx 1 cm` square paper coated with a suitable adsorbent on both sides. The paper is dipped in a aqueous solution of glucose of volume 20 mL and concentration 20 ppm. Final concentration glucose was dropped to 19 ppm due to adsorption. Find the number of glucose particles per unit area of the paper.

Answer» Correct Answer - `3.33 xx 10^(16) cm^(-2)`
Mass of glucose adsorbed `= (20 - 19) xx (20)/(10^(6)) = 2 xx 10^(-5) g.`
Moles of glucose adsorbed `= (2 xx 10^(-5))/(180) = (10^(-6))/(9).`
Number of glucose molecules `= (10^(-6))/(9) xx 6 xx 10^(23) = (20)/(3) xx 10^(16)`
Number of glucose molecules per unit area `= (1)/(2) xx (20)/(3) xx 10^(16) = 3.33 xx 10^(16) cm^(-2).`

What are emulsion ? How are they classified ? Describe the applications of emulsions.

Answer» Emulsion : The colloidal system in which a dispersion of finely divided droplets of a liquid in another liquid medium is called emulsion. Eg : Milk.
In Milk, the droplets of a liquid fat are dispersed in water. This is an example for oil in water type emulsion.
Classification of emulsions : Emulsions are classified into two classes. These aer
a) Oil in water (O/W) and
b) Water in Oil (W/O) , (O=Oil, W=Water)
These emulsions are classified as such depending on which is dispersed phase is oil and the dispersion medium.
a) Oil in Water (O/W) type emulsions : In This type of emulsions , the dispersed phase is oil and the dispersion medium is water.
Ex : Milk , liquid, fat (oil) in water
Vanishing cream, fat in water.
b) Water in Oil (W/O) type emulsions : In this type of emulsions, the dispersed phase is water and the dispersion medium is oil
Ex : Stiff greases : Water in lubrication oils.
Cod liver oil : water in cod liver oil
Cold cream : water in fat.
Applications of Emulsions : Emulsions are useful
`to` In the digestion of fats in intestines.
`to` In washing processes of clothes and crockery.
`to` In the preparation of lotions, creams , ointments in pharmaceutical and cosmetics .
`to` In the extraction of metals (froth floatation).

Distinguish between the meaning of the terms adsorption and absorption. Given one example of each.

Answer» This phenomenon of attracting and retaining the molecules of a substance by a solid (or a liquid) on its surface resulting into a higher concentration of the molecules on the surface is known as adsorption. Absorption is different from adsorption. In absorption, the substance is uniformly distributed throughout the body of a solid or a liquid.
`NH_(3)` gets adsorbed on the charcoal where as `NH_(3)` when comes in contact with `H_(2)O` gets absorbed by forming `NH_(4)OH` solution of uniform concentration.

Which of the following is incorrect regarding Langmuir adsoroption isothem?A. Langmuir desived an adsorption isotherm on theoretical consideration based on kinetic theory of gases.B. Langmuir isotherm is based on the assumption that every adsorption site is equivalent and that the ability of a particle to bind there is independent of whether or not nearby sites are occupied.C. Langmuir considered adsorption to consist of the two opposing processes.D. The Langmuir isotherm is generally more successful in interpreting the data than the Freundlich isotherm when a multilayer is formed.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Langmuir assumed that the layer of the adsorbed gas was only one molecule thick i.e. unimolecular. Since such type of adsorption is obtained in the case of chemisorption. Langmuir adsorption isotherm works particularly well for chemisorption.
The two opposing processes considered by Langmuir are
(a) Adsorption of the gases molecules on the surface of the solid
(b) Desorption of the adsorbed molecules from the surface of the solid.
Langmuir believed that eventually a dynamic equilibrium is established between the above two opposing processes.
