Question
- How can a colloidal solution and true solution of the same colour be distinguished from each other?
- List four applications of adsorption.
✓
Answer
- When light beam is passed through both the solutions, path of light becomes visible in a colloidal solution (due to scattering of light by colloidal particles).
- Four applications of adsorption are following-
- In chromatography for separation of mixtures.
- Adsorption of toxic gases by activated charcoal in gas masks.
- Decolourization of cane sugar by animal charcoal.
- In heterogeneous catalysis.
