Gold numbers of some colloids are Gelatin: 0.005−0.010 . 005 - 0 . 01, Gum Arabic: 0.15−0.250 . 15 - 0 . 25, Oleate: 0.04−1.00 . 04 - 1 . 0, Starch: 15−2515 - 25. Which among the following is a better protective colloid?

Options

  1. AGelatin
  2. BStarch
  3. COleate
  4. DGum Arabic

Correct answer

A. Gelatin

Step-by-step solution

Goldnumber ∝ \dfrac{1}{protectivepower}

It is defined as the minimum amount of protective colloid in milligrams which prevents a colour change from red to violet of 10mL10mL gold solution by the addition of 10mL10mL of 1010 % NaCl Solution.
