Question

Based entirely on classical surface chemistry, what is the precise term used to describe a liquid-in-solid colloidal system, and what is the distinct phenomenon observed when it spontaneously exudes liquid upon standing?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. A colloidal system consisting of a liquid uniformly dispersed in a continuous solid medium is mathematically defined as a Gel. The spontaneous shrinking and exudation (weeping) of the trapped liquid medium from an undisturbed gel is scientifically termed Syneresis.
