Question
What happens when an emulsion is centrifuged?
Solution
An emulsion is centrifuged because it is a colloidal dispersion. Also, it exhibits all the properties shown by colloidal sols, that is, Tyndall effect, Brownian movement, electrophoresis, etc.

What causes brownian motion in colloidal dispersion?
Assertion: Coagulation power of Al3+ is more than Na+.
Reason: Greater the valency of the flocculating ion added, greater is its power to cause precipitation (Hardy Schulze rule).
The important factor in the stabilization of a colloidal solution is ______
The conditions given below are in the context of observing Tyndall effect in colloidal solutions:
- The diameter of the colloidal particles is comparable to the wavelength of light used.
- The diameter of the colloidal particles is much smaller than the wavelength of light used.
- The diameter of the colloidal particles is much larger than the wavelength of light used.
- The refractive indices of the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium are comparable.
