Case-based MCQs

I. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The amount of moisture that leather adsorbs or loses is determined by the temperature, relative humidity, degree of porosity and the size of the pores. Moisture has great practical significance because its amount affects the durability of leather and the comfort of the wearer in articles such as shoes, gloves and other garments. High moisture content accelerates deterioration and promotes mildew action. On the other hand, a minimum amount of moisture is required to keep leather properly lubricated and thus, prevent cracking.
The study indicates that adsorption of moisture by leather is a multi-molecular process and is accompanied by low enthalpies of adsorption. Further at 75 percent relative humidity, the adsorption is a function of surface area alone.
Untanned hide and Chrome tanned leathers have the largest surface areas. The leathers tanned with vegetable tanning materials have smaller surface areas since they are composed of less hide substance and the capillaries are reduced to smaller diameters in some cases probably completely filled by tanning materials. This process of tanning occurs due to mutual coagulation of positively charged hide with negatively charged tanning material.
The result of the study indicated that untanned hide and Chrome tanned leather adsorb most of the water vapour. 

In these questions a statement of Assertion followed by a statement of Reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(A) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
(B) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

II. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: U
Some colloids are stable by their nature, i.e., gels, alloys, and solid foams. Gelatin and jellies are the two common examples of a gel. The solid and liquid phases in a gel are interpersed with both phases being continuous. In most systems, the major factor influencing the stability is the charge on the colloidal particles. If a particular ion is preferentially adsorbed on the surface of the particles, the
particles in suspension will repel each other, thereby preventing the formation of aggregates that are larger than colloidal dimensions. The ion
can be either positive or negative depending on the particular colloidal system, i.e., air bubbles accumulate negative ions. Sulphur particles have a net negative charge in a sulphur sol, and the particles in a metal hydroxide sol are positively charged. Accumulation of charge on a surface is not
as usual phenomenon of dust attracted to furniture surfaces by electrostatic forces. When salts are added to lyophobic colloidal systems the colloidal particles begin to form larger aggregates and a sediment forms as they settle. This phenomenon is called flocculation, and the suspension can be referred to as flocculated, or colloidally unstable. If  the salt is removed, the suspension can usually be restored to its original state; this process is called Deflocculation or Peptization. The original and restored colloidal systems are called deflocculated, peptized, or stable sols. Addition of small amount of salt affects the stability of colloidal system because of attractive and repulsive forces that exist between colloidal particles. Van der Waals forces are responsible for the attractions, while the repulsive forces are due to the surface charge on the particles. In a stable colloid, the repulsive forces are of greater magnitude than the attractive forces. The magnitude of the electrical repulsion is diminished by addition of ionized salt, which allows the dispersed particles to aggregate and flocculate. River deltas provide an example of this behaviour.
