Generally, hydropbobicsols are coagulated by electrolytes at 0-0001—0-1 M comcetrations. The
coagulation is irreversible so Gat the removal of the coagulating electrolyte does not alow the
coagulum tobe redispersd.: Lyopilc sols, on the other hand, are aot easily coagulated. Tey require
mich bigher concentrations (asally of the order of IM) of the electrolyte for precipitation. The

3. rom Scattering of Light. Zsigmondy used the ultra-microscope for detersining the size of
the particles of colloidal. dimeasions. Ag already mentioned, each spot of light viewed in lie-
microscope corresponds to a particle. The number of particles in a given volume of a selon,
therefore, can be counted, The observation is repeated severel times and an sierage is taken. The
‘engi and breath of the field of vision are measured with the help of an eye-piece micrometer, The
depth is determined vs otating the sit through 90°. From these dimensions, te exact volume of the
Solution containing the observed number of particles can be obtained. From this, the number of
particles m, contained per unit volun ofthe solution can be determined
