- The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of a soap solution is \( 5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \). Identify the correct statements about this solution.
[I.] The micelle is stable if the soap solution concentration is \( 10^{-7} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \)
[II.] The micelle is stable if the soap solution concentration is higher than \( 5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{mol L}^{-1} \)
[III.] Micelles are also known as associated colloids.- AP EAPCET - 2025

Applications of surface chemistry are:
Adsorption:
The process of attraction and aggregation of the molecules of a substance on the surface of a solid is known as adsorption. For Example, N2 adsorbs on the surface of activated charcoal
Two types of adsorption are:-
- Chemisorption: It is also known as Chemical Adsorption.
- Physisorption: It is also known as Physical Adsorption.
Corrosion:
The process through which the refined metals convert themselves into more stable compounds is known as corrosion.
Crystallisation:
The type of technique used in order to purify the substances to separate Solids from liquids is known as crystallisation.
Heterogeneous Catalysis:
The process wherein a catalyst is used in order to increase the rate of a chemical reaction is known as catalysis. The catalyst does not undergo any transformation and can be recovered in a chemically unchanged state.
There are two types of catalysis:-
- When the catalyst involved and the reacting substances are same states of matter or in the same phase, it is known as Homogeneous Catalysis.
- When the catalyst involved and the reacting substances are in different states of matter or different phases, it is known as Heterogeneous Catalysis.
