Coagulation is generally brought about by the addition of electrolytes. When an electrolyte is added to a colloidal solution, the particles of the sol take up the ions which are oppositely charged. As a result their charge gets neutralised. Electrophoresis The movement of colloidal patticles under an applied electric potential is called electrophoresis. Electroosmosis may be defined as a phenomenon in which the molecules of the dispersion medium are allowed to more under the influence of an electric field whereas colloidal particles are not allowed to more. Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by sol particles, which cannot be affected by charge on them.

Method by which lyophobic sol can be protected
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
Micelles are the clusters formed by the association of colloids. They are formed by lyophilic and lyophobic groups. As the concentration increases, the lyophobic parts receding away from the solvent approach each ( non-polar part ) other and form a cluster, the lyophobic ends are in the interior, lyophilic groups ( polar part ) projecting outward in contact with the solvent.

What happens when a lyophilic sol is added to a lyophobic sol?
Lyophobic sol is protected since a film of lyophilic sol is formed over lyophobic sol.

Select the correct statements.
(i) Physical adsorption is weak, multilayer, non-directional and non-specific.
(ii) Chemical adsorption is unilayer, directional and strong.
(iii) Chemical adsorption decreases with temperature.
(iv) Chemical adsorption is more stronger than physical adsorption.
The separation of an emulsion into its constituents is called demulsification. Various methods of demulsification are freezing, boiling, centrifugation or chemical methods.

$$3 g$$ of activated charcoal was added to $$50 mL$$ of acetic acid solution $$(0.06N)$$ in a flask. After an hour it was filtered and the strength of the filtrate was found to be $$0.042 N.$$ The amount of acetic acid adsorbed ( per gram of charcoal ) is :
Greater the surface area, greater the van der waal forces of attraction and therefore at
lesser concentration micelle formation will take place. In case of $$C{H_3}{\left( {C{H_2}} \right)_{15}}\mathop N\limits^ \oplus {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_3}B{r^ - }$$ due to greater chain length, greater will be van der waal forces.
