Chapter 5 Surface Chemistry 

Getting good grades in chemistry is not an easy task for many students. However, with step-by-step NCERT notes provided for each chapter question, illustrations, and explanations, students can easily master the Surface Chemistry chapter and master all the concepts in it. 

CBSE Class 12 Chapter 5 talks about adsorption, mechanisms, and forms of adsorption, isotherms of adsorption, applications of adsorption, colloids, enzyme catalysis, preparation of colloids, and many more. Vidyakul offers practice questions for all chapter-related sub-topics. Students must practice questions in the text provided by Vidyakul to get a good score. Keep reading to access the NCERT notes for Grade 12 Chemistry Chapter 5.

Points to Remember

 

Students can record important points to remember from chapter 5 of NCERT Grade 12 Chemistry to do well in exams.

  • Adsorbent: Adsorbent on the surface.

  • Adsorbent: substance present in higher concentrations on the surface of the adsorbent. It is a type of adsorbent in which the adsorbent is held on the surface of the adsorbent by van der Waal forces.

  • Chemisorption is a type of adsorption in which the adsorbent is held on the surface of the adsorbent by chemical bonds.

  • Enthalpy of Adsorption: The enthalpy change associated with the adsorbent. It is always negative.

  • The degree of adsorption decreases with increasing temperature and increases with increasing pressure.

  • Isotherm adsorption: The relationship between the degree of adsorption and the pressure at a constant temperature.



Topics and Sub-Topics

Surface chemistry is one of the easiest subjects in Grade 12. While solving problems, students will become familiar with problem-solving methods and will be able to easily answer all types of questions posed. Concepts and notes will soon become interesting and students will develop speed and accuracy in problem-solving. Furthermore, students can practice the questions provided by Vidyakul for free and get good marks in the exams. Below is a list of Chemistry subjects for Grade 12 Chapter 5 Chemistry of Surfaces.

Importance of Surface Chemistry

The event of attracting and keeping the molecule of a substance on the surface of a solid is called adsorption. This results in an increased concentration on the surface than in the bulk. The expanse of adsorption of a gas on a solid material depends on the following factors: surface area of the solid, temperature of the gas, nature of the gas, the pressure of the gas, and nature of solid.

Absorption

 

3

Adsorption

  • Adsorbate – The substance that is absorbed. It is held by weak van der Waals forces in physisorption whereas in chemisorption it is held by a strong chemical bond.

4

Catalysis

A substance that enhances the rate of a chemical reaction without getting itself consumed by the reaction is called a catalyst. It does not undergo any change and can be recovered in a chemically unchanged form. The event occurring with a catalyst is known as catalysis.

  • Homogeneous catalysis – When the catalyst and reactants are in the same phase it is called homogeneous catalysis.

  • Heterogeneous catalysis – When the catalyst and reactants are in a different phase it is called heterogeneous catalysis.

Few Important Questions

  • What is the definition of a ‘Catalyst’?

Any substance that increases the rate of a reaction without itself being consumed is called a Catalyst.

  • What is ‘Chemical Kinetics’?

The branch of physical chemistry that is concerned with understanding the rates of chemical reactions.

  • What is the meaning of ‘Adsorption’?

Adsorption is the sticking of atoms or molecules to a surface. This surface is known as an Adsorbent.


Practice Questions

  1. Explain the difference between absorption and adsorption with an example.

  2. Define lyophobic and lyophilic sols with one example each. Also, explain which sol is easily coagulated and why?

  3. Explain how the emulsion is stabilized with emulsifiers. Name any two emulsifiers.

  4. What is aerosol? Write one example

  5. Define enzymes and explain enzyme catalysis mechanism.
