27
Q

How to prevent the the effect of increasing the volume of the counter-ion layer in peptization?

A

solvent that can easily volatilize is used for washing, so that during the drying step, this solvent is removed from the precipitates.

27
Q

What happens when electrolyte is removed in Peptization?

A

has the effect of increasing the volume of the counter-ion layer.

A

colloidal suspensions

29
Q

suspended within the mixture, they show no tendency to settle thus making them difficult to filter
