Question

Define Aerosol.

Answer 1

1. Colloid: A colloid is a type of solution in which the size of the solute particles is somewhere between genuine solutions and suspensions.
2. The dispersed phase and the dispersion medium are two things that define colloid.
3. Dispersed Phase: The dispersed phase refers to the component of colloid that is present in minute amounts.
4. Dispersed Medium: The dispersion media is the medium in which colloidal particles scatter or suspend themselves.
5. Aerosol: A colloidal solution in which the dispersed phase is gas and the dispersion medium is solid is known as an aerosol.
6. Example: Smoke and Automobile exhausts.
