Which one of the following method is commonly used method for destruction of colloid:
- Dialysis
- Condensation
- Filtration by animal membrane
- By adding electrolyte
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
When an electrolyte is added to a colloidal solution, it neutralizes the charge on the colloidal particles, causing them to come together and coagulate, forming larger particles that can settle or be easily removed from the solution. This process is known as coagulation and is commonly used to destabilize colloidal suspensions.
So, the correct option is (D): By adding electrolyte

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.
