NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3sc117

Dialysis is a process used for

  1. Aremoving dissolved ions and small molecules from a sol using a semipermeable membrane
  2. Bconverting a lyophobic sol into a lyophilic sol
  3. Ccoagulating a sol by heating
  4. Dmeasuring the charge on colloidal particles

Answer: A

In dialysis the sol is placed in a bag of semipermeable membrane. Ions and small molecules diffuse out through the membrane into water, while the large colloidal particles stay inside. It is thus a method of purification of a sol.
