Question

Why do hydrophobic sols get coagulated easily?


Open in App
Solution

Hydrophobic sol:

  • Hydrophobic sol is a colloid in which there is a lack of attraction between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.
  • They are generally unstable because they have charged particles.
  • If the charge is removed by adding any suitable electrolyte the particles tend to come closer and form aggregate or precipitate.
