At CMC, the surfactant molecules decompose, become completely soluble, associate, dissociate.

A

Decompose

B

Become completely soluble

C

Associate

D

Dissociate

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
CMC is critical micellization concentration, the surfactants at this concentration associate to form micelles. For soaps, the CMC value is `10^(-4) -10^(-3)` mole/litre.

3.9 g of benzoic acid dissolved in 49 g of benzene shows a depression in freezing point of 1.62K. Calculate the Van't Hoff factor and predict the nature of solute (associated or dissociated). (Given: Molar mass of benzoic acid= 122 gmol^-1 , K_f for benzene= 49 K kg mol^-1 )

At CMC (Critical Micellisation Conc.) the surface molecules

Statement -1: Enthalpy and entropy of any elements substance in the standard states are taken as zero . Statement-2: At absolute zero , partiles of the perfectly crystalline substance become completely motioness.

A mixture of NH_(3(g)) and N_(2)H_(4_((g))) is placed in a sealed container at 300 K . The total pressure is 0.5 atm . The container is heated to 1200 K , at which time both substances decompose completely according to the equations: 2NH_(3(g))rarrN_(2(g))+3H_(2(g)) N_(2)H_(4_((g)))rarrN_(2(g))+2H_(2(g)) After decomposition is complete, the total pressure at 1200 K is found to be 4.5 atm . Find the amount (mole) per cent of N_(2)H_(4(g)) in the original mixture.

What is Van't Hoff factor? What possible values can it have if the solute molecules undergo association. Prove that osmotic pressure is a colligative property?

Study the following figure and choose the correct options. Assuming complete dissociation of electrolyte:

Read the following passage and answer the questions. There are certain substances which behave as 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 micellisation concentration (CMC) and a characteristic temperature called Kraft temperature. What is the role of CMC in micelle formation ?
