Surface Chemistry Class 12 MCQ for NEET
Surface Chemistry MCQ with Answers for NEET :
Here are a few Surface Chemistry Class 12 MCQ for NEET Pdf. Let us practise or solve them to understand how much we really know about Surface Chemistry.
Important Points to Remember about Surface Chemistry:
- Adsorption : The phenomenon of increase in concentration at the surface due to molecular surface force is known as adsorption. (ii) Adsorbate : The substances solids, gases or liquids which are adsorbed on the surface of adsorbent are called adsorbate. (iii) Adsorbent : The solid or liquid substance on the surface of which adsorption takes place is called adsorbent. Examples of adsorbents are activated charcoal, Pt, Pd, Ni, Silica gel, gelatin, Al2O3, starch. (iv) Absorption :When a substance is uniformly distributed throughout the body of a solid or liquid, the phenomenon is called absorption. (v) Sorption :It may be defined as the process in which both adsorption and absorption take place simultaneously.
- A colloidal system is made of two phases. The substance distributed as the colloidal particles is called Dispersed phase or internal phase or the discontinuous phase. The continuous phase in which the colloidal particles are dispersed is called dispersion medium.
- Emulsions are liquid-liquid colloidal system They are of two types : (i) Oil dispersed in water (O/W type), (ii) Water dispersed in oil (W/O type).
- Surfactants are those substances which are preferentially adsorbed at the interfaces like air-water, oil-water and solid-water interfaces. Thus, it is the surfactant which is responsible for micellisation and emulsification. Surfactants are divided into three categories: Cationic surfactants, Anionic Surfactants and Non Ionic Surfactants.
