Which of the following is character of lyophilic colloid?

  • A
    Particles of dispersed phase have no affinity for dispersion medium.
  • B
    Particles easily detected under ultramicroscope.
  • Correct answer
    C
    Addition of large amount of electrolyte causes precipitation.
  • D
    These are irreversible colloids.

Solution

In lyophilic colloid, the particles of dispersed phase have a great affinity for the dispersion medium. The particles are not easily visible even under ultramicroscope. Lyophilic colloids are reversible colloids.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
