Answer» 1. Oxidation method: When hydroiodic acid is treated with iodle acid J, sol is obtained. HIO3 + 5HI → 3H2O + 3I2(sol) 2. Reduction method: Gold sol is prepared by reduction of aune chloride using formaldehyde. 2 AuCl3 + 3HCHO + 3H2O → 2 Au(sol) + 6HCI + 3HCOOH 3. Hydrolysis: Ferric chloride is hydrolysed to get ferric hydroxide colloid FeCl3 + 3H2O → Fe(OH)3(sol) + 3HCI 4. Double decomposition: When hydrogen suiphide gas is passed through a solution of arsenic oxide, a yellow coloured arsenic sulphide is obtained as a colloidal solution. As2O3 – 3H2S → As2S3 + 3H2O 5. Decomposition: When few drops of an acid is added to a dilute solution of sodium thiosulphate, sulphur colloid is produced by the decomposition of sodium thio sulphate. S2O32- + 2H+ → S(sol) + H2O + SO2 |
