Colloidal solutions of metals like gold can be prepared when their salt solutions react with certain substances like $SnCl _{2}$, formaldehyde, phenyl hydrazine, etc.
2$AuCl _{3}$ + 3$SnCl _{2}$ $\rightarrow$ 3$SnCl _{4}$ + $2Au _{sol}$
The above method is an example of:

  1. reduction method

  2. oxidation method

  3. hydrolysis method

  4. double decomposition method

A Correct answer
Explanation

  • A colloid is a heterogeneous system in which one substance is dispersed (dispersed phase) as very fine particles in another substance called dispersion medium.
  • Colloidal solutions of metals like gold can be prepared when their salt solutions react with certain substances like $SnCl _2$, formaldehyde, phenylhydrazine.
In the given reaction,
$2AuCl _3 + 3SnCl _2 \rightarrow 3SnCl _4 + 2Au _{sol}$
The oxidation state of $Sn$ is changing from -2 to -4. So,it is gaining electrons and hence the method is the reduction method.

Zig-zag motion of the solute particle in a solution is known as :

  1. linear motion

  2. brownian motion

  3. circular motion

  4. curved motion
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

This is the random motion of particles suspended in a fluid resulting from their collision with the quick atoms or molecules in the gas or liquid. It is named after Robert Brown in 1827.

Particles having size between 1 and 1000 nm dispersed in a medium is called a:

  1. colloid

  2. mixture

  3. suspension

  4. none of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A homogeneous looking heterogeneous mixture in which particles having a size between 1 and 1000 nm are dispersed in a continuous medium is called a colloid. Colloids are commonly called sols.


Hence. the correct answer is option $A$.

  1. colloidal solution

  2. saturated solution

  3. unsaturated solution

  4. none of above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A colloid, in chemistry, is a mixture in which one substance of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles is suspended throughout another substance.
Examples of colloid are paint, milk, fog etc.
