Question Style in MHT CET Colloids PYQs
Every question in this PDF is a single-correct MCQ. All of them are theory questions, so the answer comes from remembering a definition or an example.
| Question Style | What it Tests |
|---|---|
| Coagulation | Which anion has the greatest or the least power to coagulate a positive sol, and which ion has the greater power for a negatively charged sol |
| Types of colloids | The type of colloid fog or soap lather is, the dispersed phase and dispersion medium in fog and in cheese, and examples of multimolecular and macromolecular colloids |
| Charged sols | Which sols are positively charged and which are not negatively charged |
| Nanomaterials | The particle size range of the nano scale, a nanomaterial with all three dimensions under 100 nm, and examples of zero and one dimensional nanostructures |
| Properties and techniques | The term for the movement of colloidal particles under an electric potential, the instrument for particle size, and matching processes such as dialysis with their uses |
How to Use the Colloids PYQ PDF for MHT CET
- Start with the 2025 and 2026 papers first, because they hold 21 of the 41 questions.
- Learn the Hardy-Schulze rule, which says the coagulating power of an ion grows with its charge, and keep a list of positive and negative sols.
- Make a one-line example for each type of colloid, because the questions repeat the same examples.
- Solve year-wise PYQs by timing yourself, as time management is crucial.
- Re-attempt only the questions you got wrong, and note which formula or step you missed.
