Method by which lyophobic sol can be protected.

Answer»

By ADDITION of oppositely charged SOL
By addition of an electrolyte
By addition of lyophilic sol
By boiling

Solution :Lyophobic sol can be protected by addition of lyophilic sol. As lyophobic sols are readily precipitated on addition of small amount of electrolytes or shaking, or HEATING HENCE they are made stable by adding lyophillic sol which STABILISES the lyophobic sols.
6.

Method by which lyophobic sol can be protected

Answer»

by ADDITION of oppositely CHARGED sol.
by addition of an electrolyte
by addition of lyophilic sol
by BOILING

Solution :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 elctrolytes . Lysophilic colloids used fro this purpose are CALLED protective colloids.
