Many lyophilic sols and few lyophobic sols when coagulated under some special conditions changes into semi rigid mass, enclosing whole amount of liquid within of liquid within itself, it is called gel and the process is called gelation. Gelatin, agar-agar, gum-Arabic can be converted into gels by cooling them under moderate concentration conditions. Hydrophobic sols like silicic acid. Al(OH)_(3) are prepared by double decomposition and exchanged of solvent method. Types of gel : 1. Syneresis/weeping of gel : The spontaneous liberation of liquid from a gel is called syneresis or weeping of gels. It is reverse of swelling. e.g., geletin, agar-agar show syneresis at low concentration while silicic shows it at high concentration. 2. Imbibition or swelling of gel : When gel is kept in a suitable liquid (water) it absorb large volume of liquid. The phenomenon is called imbibition or sweeling of gel. 3. Thixotropic : Some gels when shaken to form a sol, on keeping changes into gel are termed as thixotropic gel and phenomenon is called thixotropy. e.g., gelatin and silica liquify on shaking changing into corresponding sol and the sol on keeping changes back into gel. Some types of gels like gelatin and silica liquify on shaking thereby changing into sols. The sols on standing change back into gels. This process is know as :

When DNA is transferred from a culture of capsulated pneumococcus to a culture of non capsulated pneumococcus converting the latter into the former type, the process is known as.

Magnesium is a valuable, light weight metal used as a structural material as well as in alloys, batteries, and in chemical synthesis. Although magnesium is plentiful in Earth's crust, it is mainly found in the sea water (after sodium). There is about 1.3 g of magnesium in every kilogram of sea water. The process for obtaining magnesium from sea water employs all three types of reactions, i.e., precipitation, acid-base, and redox-reactions. Redox reaction takes place (in the extraction of Mg) :

Cement is one of the most important building material of the present time. It is a dirty greyish heavy powder containing calcium aluminates and silicates. The important raw materials neede for the manufacture of cement are limestone, clay and gypsum. the main step in the manufacture of cement is the heating of raw meal or slurru in the rotary kiln at a very high temperature 1400-1600^(@)C . Finally 2% or 3% gypsum is added. When cement is mixed with water and left as such for sometime, it becomes a hard mass. This is known as setting of cement. It is believed that varous aluminates and silicates present in the cement form hydrates with water which seperate in the form of gel. the gel formed start losing water partly by evaporation and partly by forming hydrates with unhydrated constituents. this results in the formation of a hard mass.
