The correct option among the following is
Options
- ACollodial particles in lyophobic sols can be precipitated by electrophoresis
- BBrownian motion in collodial solution is faster if the viscosity of the solution is very high.
- CCollodial medicines are more effective because they have small surface area
- DAddition of alum to water makes it unfit for drinking.
Correct answer
A. Collodial particles in lyophobic sols can be precipitated by electrophoresis
Step-by-step solution
1 . Lyophilic colloids may migrate in either direction (or) may not migrate at all where as lyophobic particles migrate in only one direction in electric field. 2 . Brownian movement is faster if viscosity of medium is low. 3 . Colloidal medicines are more effective due to more surface area. 4 . Addition of alum removes impurities from water due to coagulation.
