This resulted in a/ an :
- (A)Lyophilic sol✓ Correct
- (B)Lyophobic sol
- (C)Emulsion
- (D)Precipitate
Answer: (A)
Solution
Albumin is a protein that forms a lyophilic (solvent-loving) sol when dispersed in aqueous NaCl solution. Lyophilic sols are stable colloids where the dispersed phase has a strong affinity for the dispersion medium. This is a standard method for preparing lyophilic sols.
