The process of aggregation of colloidal particles into an insoluble precipitate by the addition of suitable electrolyte is called
- A coagulation
- B diffusion
- C peptisation
- D electrolysis
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) coagulation
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The process of aggregation of colloidal particles into an insoluble precipitate by the addition of an electrolyte is known as coagulation or flocculation. This occurs because the electrolyte provides ions with a charge opposite to that of the colloidal particles, which…
