Question

Four distinct lyophilic protective colloids (A, B, C, and D) possess Gold Numbers of $0.50$, $0.01$, $0.10$, and $0.005$ respectively. Identify the strictly correct sequence of their absolute protective powers from lowest to highest.

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The protective power of a lyophilic colloid is mathematically inversely proportional to its Gold Number. A smaller gold number indicates a highly superior protective agent. Ordering by decreasing gold numbers (lowest power to highest) gives: .
