The coagulating (flocculation) value of an electrolyte is defined so that a smaller coagulating value corresponds to:

Answer: greater coagulating power.

  • A lower coagulating power
  • B no coagulation at all
  • C greater coagulating power
  • D only reversible coagulation

Correct answer: C. greater coagulating power

Explanation: Coagulating value is the minimum concentration needed to coagulate a sol, so a smaller value means a more powerful coagulant.

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.
