Identify the correct statement regarding lyophilic colloid from the following.

Options

  1. AIt is irreversible.
  2. BIt is solvent hating colloid.
  3. CIt is formed only by special methods.
  4. DIt is solvent loving colloid.

Correct answer

D. It is solvent loving colloid.

Step-by-step solution

The word lyophilic means liquid-loving or solvent-loving. Therefore, lyophilic colloids are solvent-loving colloids. They are reversible in nature because if the dispersion medium is separated from the dispersed phase, the sol can be reconstituted by simply remixing with the dispersion medium. They can be prepared easily by directly mixing the dispersed phase with the dispersion medium, without requiring any special methods. Answer: It is solvent loving colloid.
