Questions and Answers

What is the difference between a true solution and a suspension?

  • The dispersed phase in a suspension can't be seen by the naked eye.
  • Particle size of the dispersed phase is large in a true solution. (correct)
  • A true solution involves solid particles while a suspension involves liquid particles.
  • The dispersed phase in a true solution is insoluble in the dispersion medium.

How are reversible hydrocolloids different from irreversible hydrocolloids?

  • Irreversible hydrocolloids involve primary bond formation. (correct)
  • Reversible hydrocolloids are stronger than irreversible hydrocolloids.
  • Reversible hydrocolloids involve chemical reactions.
  • Irreversible hydrocolloids form secondary bonds upon gelation.

Which type of colloid involves a liquid dispersed phase instead of a solid?
