  1. A Le-Chatelier's principle
  2. B peptisation
  3. C neutralisation of charge on colloidal particles
  4. D scattering of light
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) neutralisation of charge on colloidal particles

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The basic principle of Cottnell's precipitator is neutralisation of charge on colloidal particle by attracting them towards the wall of oppositively charged precipitator. Thus, lose their charge and coagulate colloidal particle.
