Why do we add alum to purify water?
Assertion: An ordinary filter paper impregnated with collodion solution stops the flow of colloidal particles.
Reason: Pore size of the filter paper becomes more than the size of colloidal particle.
Assertion: Colloidal solutions do not show brownian motion.
Reason: Brownian motion is responsible for stability of sols.
