When the particle size of dispersed phase in colloidal solution increases :

Correct answer: B. the Brownian motion becomes slow

  • A. the Brownian motion become fast
  • B. the Brownian motion becomes slow
  • C. Brownian motion remains same
  • D. none of these

Explanation

Brownian movement is due to the unequal bombardments of the moving molecules of dispersion medium on colloidal particles. Bigger size of particle reduces the momentum.

About Solutions and Colloids

Solutions are described using molarity, molality, normality, mole fraction, percentage concentration and parts per million. Coverage also includes vapour-pressure lowering, boiling-point elevation, freezing-point depression and osmotic pressure, then distinguishes true solutions, colloids and suspensions by particle size, stability, light scattering and settling.
