Question
At high concentration of soap in water, soap behaves as ______.
Options
molecular colloid
associated colloid
macromolecular colloid
lyophilic colloid
Solution
At high concentration of soap in water, soap behaves as associated colloid.
Explanation:
At low concentration soap behaves as strong electrolyte but at higher concentration it behaves as colloid due to formation of aggregates called micelles. These are known as associated colloids.
