Vedclass · Answer

(A) Lyophobic sols are more easily coagulated by the addition of suitable electrolytes. To prevent the coagulation of a lyophobic sol by the addition of an electrolyte,a small amount of a lyophilic colloid is added to it. This lyophilic colloid acts as a protective colloid,and its protective power is measured in terms of the Gold number. Thus,the Gold number is a measure of the protective action of a lyophilic colloid on a lyophobic colloid.
