Storng Tyndall effect is observed only when (i) the refractive indices of the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium differ greatly in magnitude (ii) the diameter of the dispersed particles is biggest than the wavelength of the light used (iii) the refractive indices of the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium are similar (iv) the diameter of the dispersed particles is not much smaller than the wavelength of the light used.A. `(i),(ii)`B. `(i),(iv)`C. `(iii),(iv)`D. `(ii),(iii)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The intensity of the scattered light is directly proportional to the difference between the refractive indices of the dispered phase and the disperison medium. In lyophobic sols, the Tyndall effect is strong because this difference is appreciable on account of weak or no intraction between the two phases. While in lypophilic sols the Tyndall effect is much weaker because the particles are largely solvated which lowers the difference in the refractive indices of the two phases. For effective scattering of light, the diameter of the particles should match with the wavelength of the light.

The separation of colloidal particles from the particles having molecular dimensions is known asA. electroosmosisB. electrophoresisC. electrodialysisD. electrolysis

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Ordinarily, the process of dialysis is quite slow. It can be made faster by applying an electric field if the dissolved substance in the impure colloidal solution is only an electrolyte because the movement of ions across the membrane can be expedited by applying electric potential through two electrodes.
This process which is faster than simple dialysis is known as electrodialysis. The colloidal solution is placed in a bag of suitable membrane white pure water is taken outside. Electrodes are fitted in the compartment and ions present in the colloidal solution migrate out to the opposite charged electrodes.

The process of separating the colloidal particles from the solvent and solutes present in the collaidal solution by specially prepared filters, which are permerable to all substances excepts the colloidal particles is known asA. selective filtrationB. ultrafiltrationC. graded filtrationD. restricted filtration

Answer» Correct Answer - B
In this method called ultra-filtration, colloidal sols are purified by carrying out filtration through special type of graded filtras called ultra-filters. These filter papers allow only the electrolytes to pass through. Colloidal particles can pass through ordinary filter paper because the pores are too large. Howener, the pores of filter paper can be reduced in size by impregnating ordinary filter paper with collodion solution to stop the flow of colloidal particles.
