Question
Explain what is observed when.
  1. KCl, an electrolyte, is added to an hydrated ferric hydroxide sol.
  2. An electric current is passed through a colloidal solution.
  3. A beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution.

Answer

  1. Feme hydroxide $Fe ( OH )_3$ is a positively charged sol, so it gets coagulated by the chloride ions released from KCI solution.
  2. When an electric current is passed through a colloidal solution due to charge on the colloidal particles they migrate towards the oppositely charged electrode.
  3. When a beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution the path of light becomes visible.
