Removing dissolved ionic impurities from a colloid by diffusion through a membrane is called:

Answer: dialysis.

  • A coagulation
  • B dialysis
  • C peptisation
  • D emulsification

Correct answer: B. dialysis

Explanation: In dialysis, small ions pass through a semipermeable membrane while the larger colloidal particles are retained.

Adsorption Isotherm: x/m vs PressureP (pressure)x/mlow P: x/m ∝ Phigh P: saturation plateauAt high pressure, all surface sites are occupied - the curve flattens (monolayer saturation)

A typical adsorption isotherm: x/m (mass adsorbed per gram of adsorbent) rises steeply at low pressure, then flattens into a saturation plateau as the adsorbent surface fills up.
