Question
Based entirely on the physical states of the dispersed phase and the continuous dispersion medium, how are the common colloidal systems "smoke" and "fog" specifically classified?
Answer: A
💡 Solution & Explanation
Aerosols are colloidal systems where the dispersion medium is a gas. If the dispersed phase is solid (like carbon/dust particles in air), it is a solid aerosol (Smoke). If the dispersed phase is liquid (like water droplets in air), it is a liquid aerosol (Fog/Mist/Cloud).
