Measuring Zeta potential is useful in determining which property of colloidal solution?

Options

A. Solubility
B. Stability of the colloidal particles
C. Size of the colloidal particles
D. Viscosity

Answer

B

Explanation

The magnitude of the reta potential indicates the degree of electrostatic repulsion between adjacent, similarly charged particles in a dispersion.
The presence of equal and similar charges on colloidal particles is largely responsible in providing stability to the colloidal solution.
Thus, zeta potential is a key indicator of the stability of colloidal dispersions.
