Which of the following is an example of a lyophilic colloid?
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: C —
Solution
- Lyophilic colloids are solvent-loving and formed by substances like starch, proteins, or rubber.
- Lyophobic colloids are solvent-hating and include metal sols or sulfur sols.
- Starch forms a stable colloidal solution with water.
- Hence the answer is (C).
