ANSWERS:
A} Fe(OH)3 is a positively charged colloid which is coagulated by the addition of NaCl means by the addition of Cl-
B} It removes poisonous gases by the adsorption and hence smoke which is free from poisonous gases comes out.
C}In physical adsorption there are weak vander waal forces of attraction therefore it forms multilayer whereas in chemical adsorption, there are strong force of attraction, hence it forms monolayer .
i hope i have cleared much of your doubts
If still there is any doubt please let me know
