The basic principle of Cottnell's precipitator is

  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

In Cottnell's precipitator, the charged particles are attracted towards the walls of precipitator, here they lose their charge and coagulate. Hence, the basic principle of Cottnell's precipitator is the neutralisation of charge on colloidal particles.
