Question
i. What is purification of colloidal solution?
ii. How can a colloidal solution be purified using the method of dialysis?

Answer

i. The process used for reducing the amount of impurities to a requisite minimum is known as purification of colloidal solution.Imageii. a. Dialysis is a process of removing a dissolved substance from a colloidal solution by diffusion through a suitable membrane.
b. Purification of colloidal solution can be carried out using dialysis by the following method.
  • The apparatus used is dialyser.
  • A bag of suitable membrane containing the colloidal solution is suspended in a vessel through which fresh water is continuously flowing.
  • The molecules and ions diffuse through membrane into the outer water and pure colloidal solution is left behind.
