Addition of electrolytes:
A negative ion causes the precipitation of positively charged sol and vice versa. When the valency of ion is high, the precipitation power is increased.
For example, the precipitation power of some cations and anions varies in the following order
\(\mathrm{Al}^{3+}>\mathrm{Ba}^{2+}>\mathrm{Na}^{+} \text {, Similarly }\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{CN}_{6}\right)\right]^{3-}>\mathrm{SO}_{4}{ }^{2-}>\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)
The precipitation power of electrolyte is determined by finding the minimum concentration (millimoles/lit) required to cause precipitation of a sol in 2 hours. This value is called flocculation value. The smaller the flocculation value greater will be precipitation.

In Chemisorptions the molecules are held on the surface by attractive forces by formation of chemical bonds. As strong bond is formed nearly 400 kJ / mol is given out as heat of adsorption chemical bonds are much stronger, whereas the Vander Waal's forces in physisorption is weaker.

1. Langmuir explained the action of catalyst in heterogeneous catalysed reactions based on adsorption. The reactant molecules are adsorbed on the catalyst surfaces, so this can also be called as contact catalysis.
2. According to this theory, various steps involved in a heterogeneous catalyse reaction are given as follows:
(i) Reactant molecules diffuse from bulk to the catalyst surface.
(ii) The reactant molecules are adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst.
(iii) The adsorbed reactant molecules are activated and form activated complex which is decomposed to form the products.
(iv) The product molecules are desorbed.
(v) The product diffuse away from the surface of the catalyst.
18.
(i) Emulsions are used in food industries. Food stuff like milk, cream, butter, etc., are emulsions.
(ii) Emulsions are very common in pharmaceutical industries. Many medicines are produced in the form of emulsions. Ex: Milk of magnesia is used for stomach troubles. Many lotions and ointments are emulsions.
(iii) Non ionic emulsions are most popular due to their low toxicity.
(iv) Cationic emulsions have anti microbial properties.
(v) In agriculture industry emulsions are used as delivery vehicles for insecticides, fungicides and pesticides.
(vi) In cosmetics, emulsions are the delivery vehicles for many hair and skin conditioning agents.
(v) The blood, protoplasm in plant and animal cells and fats in intestines are emulsions.
19.
(i) Zeolites are microporous, crystalline, hydrated, alumino silicates, made of silicon and aluminium tetrahedra.
(ii) There are about 50 natural zeolites and 150 synthetic zeolites.
(iii) As silicon is tetravalent and aluminium is trivalent, the zeolite matrix carries extra negative charge.
(iv) To balance the negative charge, there are extra framework cations for example H+or Na+ons. Zeolites carrying protons are used as solid acids, catalysis and they are extensively used in the petrochemical industry for cracking heavy hydrocarbon fractions into gasoline, diesel, etc.,
(v) Zeolites carrying Na+ ions are used as basic catalysis.
(vi) One of the most important applications of zeolites is their shape selectivity.
(vii) In zeolites, the active sites namely protons are lying inside their pores. So, reactions occur only inside the pores of zeolites.
Reactant selectivity:
When bulkier molecules in a reactant mixture are prevented from reaching the active sites within the zeolite crystal, this selectivity is called reactant shape selectivity.
Transition state selectivity:
If the transition state of a reaction is large compared to the pore size of the zeolite, then no product will be formed.
Product selectivity:
It is encountered when certain product molecules one too big to diffuse out of the zeolite pores.
20.
(i) Enzymes are complex protein molecules with three dimensional structures. They catalyse the chemical reaction in living organism. They are often present in colloidal state and extremely specific in catalytic action. Each enzyme produced in a particular living cell can catalyse a particular reaction in the cell.
Some common examples for enzyme catalysis:
(ii) The peptide glycyl L-glutamyl L-tyrosin is hydrolysed by an enzyme called pepsin.
(iii) The enzyme diastase hydrolyses starch into maltose
\(2\left(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}_{5}\right)_{\mathrm{n}}+\mathrm{nH}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{nC}_{12} \mathrm{H}_{22} \mathrm{O}_{11}\)
(iv) The yeast contains the enzyme zymase which converts glucose into ethanol.
\(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}+2 \mathrm{CO}_{2}\)
(v) The enzyme micoderma aceti oxidises alcohol into acetic acid.
\(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
(vi) The enzyme urease present in soya beens hydrolyses the urea.
\(\mathrm{NH}_{2}-\mathrm{CO}-\mathrm{NH}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}+\mathrm{CO}_{2}\)
Mechanism of enzyme catalysed reaction
(vii) The following mechanism is proposed for the enzyme catalysis
\(\mathrm{E}+\mathrm{S} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{ES} \rightarrow \mathrm{P}+\mathrm{E}\).
(viii) Where E is the enzyme, S the substrate (reactant), ES represents activated complex and P the products.

| S.No | Physical adsorption or vander waals adsorption or Physisorption | Chemical adsorption or Chemisorption or Activated adsorption |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | It is instantaneous | It is very slow |
| 2. | It is non-specific | It is very specific depends on nature of adsorbent and adsorbate |
| 3. | In Physisorption, when pressure increases the amount of adsorption increases | Chemical adsorption is fast with increase pressure, it can not alter the amount. |
| 4. | Physisorption decreases with increase in temerature | When temperature is raised chemisorption first increases and then decreases |
| 5. | No transfer of electrons | Chemisorption involves transfer of electrons between the adsorbent and adsorbate |

| 7. | Multilayer of the adsorbate is formed on the adsorbent. | Monolayer of the adsorbate is formed |
| 8. | It occurs on all sides | Adsorption occurs at fixed sites called active centres. It depends on surface area |
| 9 | Activation energy is insignificant. | Chemisorption involves the formation of activated complex with appreciable activation energy. |
22.
(i) Purification of drinking water is activated by coagulation of suspended impurities in water by using alums containing \(\mathrm{Al}^{3+}\left(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \mathrm{Al}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)_{3} \cdot 24 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)\) Alum has a negative charge and tends to disperse in water very fast.
(ii) The increased size as well as the lack of repelling charges cause the alum particles to settle down at the bottom or rise up and float in water. After the particles are neutralized, they clump together because of the London dispersive force which are part of vander Waal's forces. The weak inter molecular force arising from quantum induced instantaneous polarisation multi poles in molecules causes even non polar particles to attract each other due to the corelated movements of the electrons in interacting molecules. Then they settle down.
