What are lyophilic and lyophobic sols? Give one example of each type. Why are hydrophobic sols easily coagulated?
Lyophillic colloids (solvent loving) are those substances that directly pass into the colloidal state when brought- in contact with the solvent, e.g., proteins, starch, rubber, etc.
These sols are quite stable because of the strong attractive forces between the particles of disperse phase and the dispersion medium.
Lyophobic colloids (solvent hating) are those substances that do not form the colloidal sol readily when mixed with the dispersion medium.These sols are less stable than the lyophilic sols. Examples of lyophobic sols include sols of metals and their insoluble compounds like sulphides and hydroxides.
The stability of hydrophobic sol is only due to the presence of charge on the colloidal parties. If charge is removed, e.g., by addition of suitable electrolytes, the particles will come nearer to each other to form aggregate, i.e., they will coagulate and settle down. On the other hand, the stability of hydrophilic sol is due to charge as well as solvation of the colloidal particles. Thuf, for coagulation to occur easily both the mentioned factors have to be removed.
Assertion (A): Colloidal solutions show colligative properties.
Reason (R): Colloidal particles are large in size.
Explain what is observed
(i) when a beam of light is passed through a colloidal sol.
(ii) an electrolyte, NaCI is added to hydrated ferric oxide sol.
(iii) electric current is passed through a colloidal sol.
A colloid is formed by adding FeCl3 in excess of hot water. What will happen if excess sodium chloride is added to this colloid?

Assertion (A): An ordinary filter paper impregnated with collodion solution stops the flow of colloidal particles.
Reason (R): Pore size of the filter paper becomes more than size of colloidal particle.
Assertion (A): Colloidal solutions do not show Brownian motion.
Reason (R): Brownian motion is responsible for stability of sols.

(a) Micelle formation by soap in aqueous solution is possible at all temperatures.
(b) Micelle formation by soap in aqueous solution occurs above a particular concentration.
(c) On dilution of soap solution micelles may revert to individual ions.

Freundlich adsorption isotherm is given by the expression x/m=KP1/n. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from this expression?
Match the types of colloidal systems given in Column I with the name given in Column II.
Assertion (A): Detergents with low CMC are more economical to use. Reason (R): Cleansing action of detergents involves the formation of micelles. These are formed when the concentration of detergents becomes equal to CMC.
