The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, "When the dispersion medium is alcohol, the colloidal sol is known as," we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Components of a Colloid A colloid consists of two main components: - **Dispersion Medium**: The substance in which the colloidal particles are dispersed. - **Dispersed Phase**: The particles that are dispersed in the medium. ### Step 2: Identify the Dispersion Medium In this case, the dispersion medium is specified as alcohol. ### Step 3: Determine the Name of the Colloidal Sol When the dispersion medium is alcohol, the colloidal sol formed is specifically referred to as an **alcohol sol**. ### Step 4: Compare with Other Dispersion Media To reinforce understanding, we can compare this with other dispersion media: - If the dispersion medium is water, the colloidal sol is called a **hydrosol**. - If the dispersion medium is benzene, it is called a **benzene sol**. - If the dispersion medium is an aqueous solution, it can be referred to as an **aerosol**. ### Conclusion Thus, when the dispersion medium is alcohol, the colloidal sol is known as **alcohol sol**. ---
