Which of the following are correct statements :a)Spontaneous adsorptio...
(A) ΔG = ΔH - TΔS < O as ΔS < O so ΔH has to be negative
(B) micelles formation will take place above Tk and above CMC
(C) this solution will be negatively charged.
(D) Fe3+ ions will have greater flocculatibility power so smaller flocculating value.

Which of the following are correct statements :a)Spontaneous adsorptio...
Correct Statements:
a) Spontaneous adsorption of gases on solid surface is an exothermic process as entropy decreases during adsorption.
- Spontaneous adsorption is a process where gas molecules adhere to the surface of a solid without any external force or intervention.
- When gas molecules adsorb on a solid surface, the entropy of the system decreases as the gas phase molecules become ordered on the solid surface.
- This leads to a decrease in the internal energy of the system, which results in the release of energy in the form of heat.
- Therefore, it is an exothermic process.
c) A colloid of Fe(OH)3 is prepared by adding a little excess (required to completely precipitate Fe3 ions as Fe(OH)3)) of NaOH in FeCl3 solution the particles of this sol will move towards the cathode during electrophoresis.
- Electrophoresis is a technique used to separate charged particles based on their charge and size under the influence of an electric field.
- In this case, Fe(OH)3 sol particles are negatively charged due to the adsorption of OH- ions on their surface.
- When an electric field is applied, these negatively charged particles move towards the positively charged electrode, which is the cathode.
Incorrect Statements:
b) Formation of micelles takes place when temperature is below Kraft Temperature (Tk) and concentration is above critical micelle concentration (CMC).
- Micelles are formed when surfactant molecules aggregate in a solution to form a structure where the hydrophobic tails are shielded from the solvent and the hydrophilic heads are exposed to the solvent.
- The formation of micelles depends on various factors such as temperature, concentration, and nature of the surfactant.
- The Kraft temperature is the temperature above which micelles cannot be formed.
- The critical micelle concentration is the minimum concentration of surfactant required to form micelles.
- However, the statement mentioned in option b is incorrect as micelles are formed when the temperature is above the Kraft temperature and the concentration is above the critical micelle concentration.
d) According to Hardy-Schulze rules, the coagulation (flocculating) value of Fe3 ion will be more than Ba2 and Na.
- Hardy-Schulze rule states that the coagulating power of an ion is directly proportional to the valency of the ion and inversely proportional to the hydrated radius of the ion.
- The coagulating power of an ion refers to its ability to cause destabilization and precipitation of colloidal particles.
- Based on this rule, the coagulating power of Fe3+ ion should be higher than that of Na+ and Ba2+ ions as Fe3+ has a higher valency and smaller hydrated radius compared to Na+ and Ba2+ ions.
- Therefore, the statement mentioned in option d is correct.
