MCQ
Method by which lyophobic sol can be protected.
  • A
    By addition of oppositely charged sol.
  • B
    By addition of an electrolyte.
  • By addition of lyophilic sol.
  • D
    By boiling.

Answer

Correct option: C.
By addition of lyophilic sol.
Lyophilic colloids have a unique property of protecting lyophobic colloids. When a lyophilic sol is added to the lyophobic sol, the lyophilic particles form a layer around lyophobic particles and thus protect the latter from electrolytes. Lyophilic colloids used for this purpose are called protective colloids.
