Coagualation of Lyophilic Sols

Dear expert, ...

Question

Dear expert, Is it right to say that lyophobic colloids can be coagulated easily? They are stable.

Open in App

Solution

Yes, lyophobic solution easily coagulates due to lack of protecting layers around charged colloidal particles.

Q. Which of the following statements are correct?

3. Ferric chloride solution is used to stop bleeding from a fresh cut because it coagulates the blood.
4. The flocculation value of arsenious sulfide sol is independent of the anion of the coagulating electrolyte.

Q. Lyophilic colloidal sols are much more stable than lyophobic colloidal sols. This is due to the extensive solvation of lyophilic colloidal sols, which form a protective layer outside it which prevents it from forming associated colloids. Lyophilic colloidal sols also protect lyophobic colloidal sols from precipitation by the action of electrolytes. This is due to the formation of a protective layer by the lyophilic sols outside lyophobic sols. Lyophilic sols are also called protective sols.
Gelatin (lyophilic) protects gold sol (lyophobic) from coagulation on the addition of a solution of sodium chloride. The protective powers of different colloidal sols are measured in terms of gold number.
Gold number is defined as the amount of protective sol in milligrams that prevents the coagulation of 10 mL of a given gold sol on adding 1 mL of a

10 %

solution of sodium chloride. Thus, the smaller the gold number of a lyophilic sol, the greater is the protective power.
