Q41 / 180 · KCET 2021 · Chemistry

Zeta potential is

  • A
    potential required to bring about coagulation of a colloidal sol.
  • B
    potential required to give the particle a speed of $1 \mathrm{~cm} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    potential difference between fixed charged layer and the diffused layer having opposite charges
  • D
    potential energy of the colloidal particles.

Solution

Zeta potential is potential difference between fixed charged layer and the diffused layer having opposite charges.

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