`50 mL` of standard gold solution needs `0.05 mg` of gelatin for its protection from coagulation. Calculate the gold number of gelatine?

Answer» `50mL` of standard gold sol requires `=0.05mg` of gelatin Therefore, `10mL` of standard gold sol requires
`=(0.05)/(50)xx10=0.01mg` of gelatine
`:.` Gold number `=0.01` `50mL` of standard gold sol requires `=0.05mg` of gelatin Therefore, `10mL` of standard gold sol requires
`=(0.05)/(50)xx10=0.01mg` of gelatine
`:.` Gold number `=0.01`
110.

For the coagulation of `500mL` of arsenious sulphide sol, `2mL` of `1MNaCl` is required. What is the flocculation value of `NaCl` ?

Answer» Correct Answer - 4
2mL of 1M NaCl contains `NaCl=(2)/(1000)=2` mmol
Thus 500 mL of `As_(2)S_(3)` sol require NaCl for complete coagulation=2mmol
Hence 1L, i.e., 1000 mL of the sol reqruie NaCl for complete coagulation=4mmol
Therefore, flocclation value of NaCl=4

`SnO_(2)` forms positively charged colloidal sol in acidic medium and negatively charged colloidal sol in basic medium. Explain ?

Answer» `SnO_(2)` is amphoteric reacting with acid and base both. In acidic medium (say HCl) `Sn^(4+)` ion is formed which is preferentially adsorbed on `SnO_(2)` giving positively charged colloidal sol :
`SnO_(2) + 4HCl to SnCl_(4) + 2H_(2)O ,`
`SnO_(2) + SnCl_(4) to [SnO_(2)]Sn^(4+)` (Positively charged) `+ 4Cl^(-)`.
112.

In the lower layer of the atmosphere, there is great deal of dust. When the weather is fine, it is possible to see the magnificent red colour of the setting sun. What have these observation to do with colloids ?

Answer» Dust in the atmosphere is often colloidal. When the sun is low down on the horizon, light from it has to pass through a great deal of dust to reach your eyes. The blue part of the light is scattered away from your eyes. You see the red part of the spectrum, which remains. Red sunsets are the Tyndall effect on a large scale.

Coagulation takes place when sodium chloride solution is added to a colloidal solution of hydrated ferric oxide. Explain.

Answer» When NaCI solution is added to the colloidal solution of hydrated ferric oxide coagulation takes place (precipitation formed).
`to` The reason is that colloidal particles interact with ions `(Na^(+), Cl^(-))` carrying charge opposite to that present on themselves. This causes neutralisation of charges leading to their coagulation.

If a strong beam of light is passed through a colloidal sol place in a dark space, the part of the beam gets illuminated. This phenomenon is calledA. Tyndall effectB. Brownian effectC. Dorn effectD. Hardy-Schulze effect

Answer» Correct Answer - A
If a homogeneous solution placed in dark is observed in the direction of light, it appears cler (i.e. we are able to trace out the path of light). But if it is observed from a direction at right angles to the direction of light beam, it appears perfectly dark,
Colloidal solutions viewed is the same way also appear reasonbly clear or translucent by the transmitted light but they show a mild to strong opalescence, which viewed at right angles to the passage of light i.e. the path of the beam is illuminated by a coloured light. This effect was first observed by Faraday and later studied in detail by Tyndall and is therefore termed as Faraday-Tyndall effect or just Tyndall effect, The illuminated path of beam (the bright cone of the light) is called Tyndall cone.
122.

Explain the phenomenon observed An eleetrlc current is passed through a colloidal solution.

Answer» Electrophoresis : The existence of charge on colloidal particles is confirmed by electrophoresis experiment.
When electric potential is applied across two platinum electrodes dipping in a colloids solution, the colloidal particles move towards one or the other electrode. The movement of colloidal particles under an applied emf is called "electrophoresis".
`to` Positive charged particles move towards the cathode while negative charged particies towards anode.

Breding arc method cannot be used to prepare colloidal solution of which of the following ?A. `Pt`B. `Fe`C. `Ag`D. `Au`

Answer» Correct Answer - 2
Electrical disintegration of Bredigs are method is used for preparing colloidal solution of metal like gold silver, platinum. Etc. In this method electric arc is struck between electrodes of metal immersed in the dispersion medium. The intense heat produced vaporizes some of the metals which then condenses to form particles of colloidal size. As iron do not vaporise easily, it cannot be prepared by this method. A colloidal solution of `Au,Ag` and `Pt` can also be prepared by reducing its salt solution with suitable reducing agent.

The disperse pahse, dispersion medium and nature of colloidal solution (lyophilic or lyophobic) of gold solution respectively, are `:`A. solid, solid , lyophobicB. liquid ,liquid, lyophobicC. solid,liquid,lyophobicD. solid,liquid,lyophilic

Answer» Correct Answer - 3
Colloidal solution of gold is obtained when dispersed phase is solid and dispersion medium is liquid. Substances like methals cannot be brought into the colloidal state simply by bringing them in contact with water and therefore, special methods are devised for the purpose. Hence, they are known as hydrophobic or lyophobic colloids.
132.

The most important property of lyophobic colloidal dispersion is that the colloidal particles always carry an electric change. The nature of this charge is the same on all the particles in a given colloidal solution and may be either positive or negative. Which of the following is an electronegative colloid?A. Arsenious sulphide solB. Ferric hydroxide solC. HaemoglobinD. Methylene blue

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The dispersion medium has an equal and opposite charge making the system neutral as a whole. Due to similar nature of the charge carried by the particles, they repel each other and do not combine to form bigger particles. That is why a lyophobic sol is stable and particles do not settle down. Metallic hydroxides (or hydrated metallic oxides), some metals (such as `Bi,Pb,Fe)`, basic dyes (such as methyl violet and methylene blue) are electropositive colloids while metallic sulphides (such as `As_(2)S_(3)S,b_(2)S_(3),CdS`), many metals (such as `Cu,Ag,Au,Pt`), acidic dyes (eosin, congo red) are electronegative colloids.

Statements : The stability of lyophobic sold is lesser than lyophilic sols . Expabnations : Lyophilic sols pssess loving nature for liquid .A. if both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertionC. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If the assertion and reason both are false.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If the dispersion medium is separated from the dispersed phase, the lyophilic sol can be reconstituted by simply remixing with the dispersion medium. That is why these sols are also called reversible sols.
