Why are lyophilic colloidal sols more stable than lyophobic colloidal sols?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

a. In is due to the greater force of attraction between dispersed phase and dispersion medium in lyophilic colloid that lyophobic colloid.
b. `Fe(OH)_(3)` sol is positively charged which is coagulated by negatively charged `Cl^(ɵ)` present in sodium chloride solution.
c. Sky appears blue in colour due to the scattering of light by colloidal particles. This is known as Tyndall effect.

Why lyophilic colloidal sols are more stable than lyophobic colloidal sols ?

Lyophobic colloids

Explain the following observation: a. Lyphilic colloid is more stable than lyophobic colloid. b. Coagulation takes place when sodium chloride solution is added to a colloidal solution of ferric hydroxide. c. Sky appears blue in colour.

Describe some features of catalysis by zeolites. (i) Medicines are more effective in their colloidal form. (ii) Lyophilic colloids are more stable than lyophobic colloids.

All colloidal sols show:

Lyophilic sols are more stable than lyophobic sols because

Lyophobic colloids are :-

A : Lyophillic sols are mors stable than lyophobic sols. R : Lyophilic sols are more readily hydrated than lyphobic sols

Assertion :- Lyophilic sol is more stable than lyophobic sol. Reason :- Lyophilic sol have greater solvation energy then lyophobic sol.

Lyophilic sols are :
