Question
Identify the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium in each of the following colloidal systems: starch dispersion, smoke, fog, pearl, whipped cream, floating soap, jelly, milk, and ruby.
Step 1
A colloidal system consists of two phases: the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium. The dispersed phase is the substance that is distributed throughout the dispersion medium, which is the substance in which the dispersed phase is distributed. Show more…

Which of the following is not correctly matched? $\begin{array}{lll}\text { Dispersed } & \text { Dispersion } & \text { Example } \\ \text { phase } & \text { medium } & \\ \text { a. Gas } & \text { Solid } & \text { dried sea foam } \\ \text { b. Solid } & \text { solid } & \text { Ruby glass } \\ \text { c. Liquid } & \text { gas } & \text { Mist } \\ \text { d. Liquid } & \text { solid } & \text { Cream }\end{array}$
Match the following: List I (Colloidal dispersion) A. Milk B. Clouds C. Paints D. Jellies List II (Nature of dispersion) (p). Solid in liquid (q). Liquid in gas (r). Solids in solid (s). Liquids in liquid (t) Liquid in solid
If the dispersed phase is a liquid and the dispersion medium is solid, the colloid is known as (a) foam (b) sol (c) emulsion (d) gel
