Which one of the following is NOT a colloidal solution with dispersed phase-liquid and dispersed medium-gas? Correct Answer Smoke
The correct answer is option i.e SmokeProperties of a colloid-
- A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture.
- The size of particles of a colloid is too small to be individually seen by naked eyes.
- Colloids are big enough to scatter a beam of light passing through it and make its path visible.
- They do not settle down when left undisturbed, that is, a colloid is quite stable
- They cannot be separated from the mixture by the process of filtration. But, a special technique of separation known as centrifugation, can be used to separate the colloidal particles.
Common Examples of colloids
| Dispersed phase | Dispersed medium | Type | Example |
| Liquid | Gas | Aerosol | Fog, clouds, mist |
| Solid | Gas | Aerosol | Smoke, automobile exhaust |
| Gas | Liquid | Foam | Shaving cream |
| Liquid | Liquid | Emulsion | Milk, face cream |
