The Brownian movement of colloidal particles is because of –
1. Convection currents in the fluid
2. Unequal bombardments by the molecules of the dispersion medium on colloidal particles
3. Setting of dispersed phase under gravity
4. Thermal gradient in the medium
When solution is added to a negatively charged sol is obtained. It is due to the
(1) Presence of basic group
(2) Preferential adsorption of ions
(3) Self dissociation
(4) Electron capture by sol particles
Graph between log and log P is a straight line inclined at an angle - 45°. When pressure of 0.5 atm and log k = 0.699, the amount of solute adsorbed per g of adsorbent will be

(2) 1.5 g/g adsorbent
(3) 2.5 g/g adsorbent
(4) 0.25 g/g adsorbent
The stabilization of the dispersed phase in a lyophobic sol is due to

(2) The surface tension of the medium
(3) Liking for the medium
(4) The formation of an electrical layer between the two phases
