What happens when lyophilic sol is added to lyophobic sol. prevention from coagulation precipitation emulsion electrophoresis
- Prevention from coagulation
- Precipitation
- Emulsion
- Electrophoresis
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
When a lyophilic sol is added to a lyophobic sol, the lyophilic sol tends to form a protective film over the lyophobic sol. This film prevents the lyophobic sol particles from coagulating by providing a barrier, thereby stabilizing the sol.

Applications of surface chemistry are:
Adsorption:
The process of attraction and aggregation of the molecules of a substance on the surface of a solid is known as adsorption. For Example, N2 adsorbs on the surface of activated charcoal
Two types of adsorption are:-
- Chemisorption: It is also known as Chemical Adsorption.
- Physisorption: It is also known as Physical Adsorption.
Corrosion:
The process through which the refined metals convert themselves into more stable compounds is known as corrosion.
Crystallisation:
The type of technique used in order to purify the substances to separate Solids from liquids is known as crystallisation.
Heterogeneous Catalysis:
The process wherein a catalyst is used in order to increase the rate of a chemical reaction is known as catalysis. The catalyst does not undergo any transformation and can be recovered in a chemically unchanged state.
There are two types of catalysis:-
- When the catalyst involved and the reacting substances are same states of matter or in the same phase, it is known as Homogeneous Catalysis.
- When the catalyst involved and the reacting substances are in different states of matter or different phases, it is known as Heterogeneous Catalysis.
