Question

what is the difference between lyophilic and lyophobic solution

Answer 1

Answer 2

Explanation:

In lyophilic sols, the addition of small amount of electrolytes will not precipitate the dispersed particles. However, adding a large amount of electrolytes can do so.

In lyophobic sols, the dispersed particles can be precipitated by the addition of small amount of electrolytes.
