Question
Define the following:
  1. Sol
  2. Aerosol
  3. Emulsion
  4. Foam
Given one example of each.

Answer

  1. Sol: Sol is a colloid in which tiny solid particles are dispersed in a liquid medium.

Examples are ink and soap solution.

  1. Aerosol: Aerosol is a colloid in which a solid or liquid is dispersed in a gas.

Examples are hairspray and fog.

  1. Emulsion: An emulsion is a colloid in which minute droplets of one liquid are dispersed in another liquid which is not miscible with it.

Examples are milk and butter.

  1. Foam: A foam is a colloid in which a gas is dispersed in a liquid medium.

Examples are soap bubbles and shaving cream.
