The water obtained from natural sources often contains suspended impurities. Alum is added to such water to coagulate the suspended impurities and make water fit for drinking purposes.
Fog is a colloidal solution of liquid in a gas, in which liquid is the dispersed phase whereas gas is the dispersion medium. Examples of other options are as follows:
Gas in liquid : Shaving cream, soda water, froth
Solid in gas : Dust in air
Gas in gas : Atmospheric air.

When a small quantity of $$FeC{l_3}$$ solution is added to the fresh precipitate of $$Fe{\left( {OH} \right)_3},$$ a colloidal sol is obtained. The process through which this sol is formed is known as
Peptization involves conversion of freshly prepared precipitate into colloidal particles using a suitable electrolyte.

The combination of two layers of opposite charges around the colloidal particle is called Helmholtz electrical double layer. The potential difference between the fixed layer and the diffused layer of opposite charge is called
The first layer of ions is firmly held and is termed as fixed layer while the second layer is mobile or diffused layer according to Helmholtz electrical double layer. The potential difference between fixed and diffused layer is called electrokinetic potential or zeta potential.

Which of the following can adsorb larger volume of hydrogen gas ?
The efficiency of coagulation of an electrolyte depends upon its valency. Thus, $${\left[ {Fe{{\left( {CN} \right)}_6}} \right]^{4 - }}$$ is the best coagulating agent for $$Fe{\left( {OH} \right)_3}$$ sol.
