Multiple Choice

Which are correct regarding stability of solution?

ALyophilic solutions are stabilised due to a layer of solvent round solution particles.
Correct Answer
BLyophobic solutions are stabilised due to presence of charge.
Correct Answer
CAddition of lyophilic brings in more stability to lyophobic.
Correct Answer
DAddition of lyophobic brings in more stability to lyophillic.

Solution

Lyophilic solutions are usually more stable than lyophobic solutions because of extensive solvation i.e. the colloidal particles are covered by the liquid in which they are dispersed. Thus A is correct.
The stability of lyophobic solution is due to presence of charge on colloidal particles. If the lyophobic solution loses charge, they come together and result in coagulation, thus the charge present in them stabilizes it. Thus B is correct.
Lyophilic colloids can protect lyophobic colloids when a lyophilic colloid is added to a lyophobic solution. The lyophilic particles form a layer around lyophobic particles and thus protect it from electrolytes. Thus lyophilic colloids are protective colloids. Thus C is correct and D is incorrect.
