Question
Why does leather get hardened after tanning?
Advertisements
Solution
Animal skin is colloidal, in nature and carries positive charge. Tannin is a negatively charged colloidal solution. When leather is soaked in tannin, mutual coagulation of the two takes place and leather gets hardened.

Assertion: Colloidal solutions show colligative properties.
Reason: Colloidal particles are large in size.
Assertion: Colloidal solutions do not show brownian motion.
Reason: Brownian motion is responsible for stability of sols.
Assertion: Coagulation power of Al3+ is more than Na+.
Reason: Greater the valency of the flocculating ion added, greater is its power to cause precipitation (Hardy Schulze rule).
