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

Options

  1. ASolubility
  2. BStability of the colloidal particles
  3. CSize of the colloidal particles
  4. DViscosity

Correct answer

B. Stability of the colloidal particles

Step-by-step solution

This potential difference between the fixed layer and diffused layer of opposite charges is called electrokinetic potential or zeta potential. Greater the Zeta potential more will be the stability of colloidal particles.
