Electrophoresis is the movement of colloidal particles under the influence of:

Answer: An electric field.

  • A A magnetic field
  • B An electric field
  • C Gravity alone
  • D Surface tension

Correct answer: B. An electric field

Explanation: Electrophoresis is the movement of charged colloidal particles toward an oppositely charged electrode when an electric field is applied.

Adsorption Isotherm: x/m vs PressureP (pressure)x/mlow P: x/m ∝ Phigh P: saturation plateauAt high pressure, all surface sites are occupied - the curve flattens (monolayer saturation)

A typical adsorption isotherm: x/m (mass adsorbed per gram of adsorbent) rises steeply at low pressure, then flattens into a saturation plateau as the adsorbent surface fills up.
