Among the following, the incorrect statement about colloids is:
Options
- AThey are larger than small molecules and have high molar mass.
- BThey can scatter lighht.
- CThe osmotic pressure of a collodial solution is of higher order than the true solution at the same concentrati
- DThe range of diameters of colloidal particles is between 1 and 1000 n m .
Correct answer
C. The osmotic pressure of a collodial solution is of higher order than the true solution at the same concentrati
Step-by-step solution
Due to the bigger size of colloidal particles the number of particles in a colloidal solution is comparatively small as compared to a true solution. Hence the values of colligative properties are of small order as compared to values shown by true solutions at same concentration.
