Hydrophobic sol is easily coagulated. Give reason.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Hydrophobic Sol**: - A hydrophobic sol is a colloidal system where the dispersed phase (particles) does not interact favorably with water. The term "hydrophobic" means "water-fearing," indicating that these particles do not dissolve or mix well with water. 2. **Behavior of Hydrophobic Sols**: - Hydrophobic sols do not undergo hydration, which means that they do not attract water molecules to their surface. This lack of interaction with water makes them unstable in aqueous environments. ...

Out of Lyophilic and Lyophobic sols, which can be easily coagulated on the addition of a small amount of electroyte ?

Read the given passage and answer the question that follow: Colloidal particles always carry an electric charge which may be either positive or negative. For example, when AgNO_3 solution is added to KI solution, a negatively charged colloidal sol is obtained. The presence of equal and similar charges on colloidal particles provide stability to the colloidal sol and if, somehow, charge is removed. coagulation of sol occurs. Lyophobic sols are readily coagulated as compared to lyophilic sols. What is the reason for the charge on sol particles ?
