Adsorption: The phenomenon of attracting and retaining the molecules of a substance on the surface of a liquid or a solid resulting into a higher concentration of the molecules on…
Difference between physical adsorption and chemisorption are as following: PHYSICAL ADSORPTION CHEMISORPTIONS The forces operating in these are weak vander Waal’s forces. The forces operating in these cases are similar…
Positive adsorption: In case of adsorption by solids from the solutions, mostly the solute is adsorbed on the surface of the solid adsorbent so that the concentration of solute on…
Factors Affecting Adsorption of Gases by Solids: Almost all the solids adsorb gases to some extent. However, the exact amount of a gas adsorbed depends upon a number of factors,…
Adsorption involves attracting molecules of adsorbate on surface of the adsorbent. Due to this, energy is released and thus heat of adsorption is negative i.e. adsorption is always exothermic. Further…
Adsorption finds extensive applications both in research laboratory and in industry. A few applications are discussed below: In preserving vacuum: In Dewar flasks activated charcoal is placed between the walls…
Differences between lyophilic and lyophobic sols are as follows: PROPERTIES LYOPHILIC SOLS LYOPHOBIC SOLS Ease of preparation Prepared easily by directly mixing with the liquid dispersion medium. Cannot be prepared…
When some solid is dispersed into a medium in which the solid substance is otherwise insoluble such that after dispersion, the size of the colloidal particles lies in the colloidal…
Peptization is a process of passing of a precipitate into colloidal particles on adding suitable electrolyte. The electrolyte added is known as peptizing agent. A few examples of sols obtained…
Physical properties of colloidal solutions: Heterogeneous character: Colloidal particles being larger than molecules form heterogeneous mixture composed of particles of dispersed phase and dispersion medium. The phenomenon of Tyndall effect,…
