All colloidal dispersions have

  1. A low osmotic pressure
  2. B no osmotic pressure
  3. C high osmotic pressure
  4. D very high osmotic pressure
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) low osmotic pressure

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Colloidal particles are bigger aggregates. Thus, the number of particles in the colloidal solution is comparatively small as compared to true solution. Hence, the values of colligative properties (e.g., osmotic pressure) are of small order as compared to values shown by true solutions at the same concentrations.
