Define the following terms with an example in each: (i) Lyophobic colloids (ii) Homogeneous catalysis (iii) O/W emulsion

Answer»

(i) The particles of the dispersed phase have no affinity for the dispersion medium /solvent repelling (hating) colloidal sols. 

Example, metal and their sulphides.

(ii) The reactant and the catalyst are in the same phase.

CH3COOCH3(I) + H2O(I) + HCl(I) → CH3COOH(aq) + CH3OH(aq)

(iii) Oil is dispersed in water/oil is dispersed phase and water is dispersion medium. 

Example- milk
