      Explain the following observations. (i) Why are powders substance more effective adsorbents than crystalline forms? (ii) Why is ester hydrolysis slow in the beginning but becomes faster after some time? (iii) What happens when Fe(OH)3 sol is mixed with

    Answer:

    (i) Greater the surface area, greater the extent of adsorption. If adsorbent is the form of powder form, free valencies are increased and thus adsorption also increases.             [1] (ii)Ester hydrolysis is catalysed by acid. In the beginning no external acid (as catalyst) is not taken. As hydrolysis takes place, reaction is slow. But after sometime when (carboxylic acid) is formed, it starts working as catalyst and rate is increased.                             [1] (iii) is positively charged colloidal sol due to adsorption of on it.  is negatively charged colloidal sol due to adsorption of  on it. When these two sols are mixed, coagulation takes place             [1]
