Read the given passage and answer the following questions There are certain substances which behave m normal strong electrolytes at low concentration but at higher concentration they behave as colloidal solutions due to the formation of aggregated particles. Such colloids are called associated colloids and the aggregated particles are called micelles. Soaps and detergents are the examples of associated colloids. The formation of micelles takes place above certain concentration called critical micellization concentration (CMC) and a characteristic temperature called Kraft temperature. Which type of coloids form micelles?

Aquatic animals generally are ammonotelic in nature where as terrestrial forms are not. Comment.

Take three test tubes .Fill in 3/4th of eacg with water.Label them A,BandC.Keep a snail in test tube A,a water plant in test tube B and in C ,Keep snail and plant both.Which test-tube would have the highest concentration of CO2?

In multi-molecular colloids, the colloidal particles are an aggregate of atoms or small molecules with a diameter of less than 1 nm. The molecules in the aggregate are held together by van der Waal's forces of attraction: Examples of such colloids include gold sol and sulphur sol. In macro-molecular colloids, the colloidal particles are large molecules having colloidal dimensions. These particles have a high molecular mass. When these particles are dissolved in a liquid, sol is obtained. For example: starch, nylon, cellulose, etc. Certain substances tend to behave like normal electrolytes at lower concentrations. However, at higher concentrations, these substances behave as colloidal solutions due to the foirnation of aggregated particles. Such colloids are called aggregated colloids. What are macromolecular colloids ?
