  • Lyophilic sol-starch, egg albumin, and gum
  • Lyophobic sol - aluminium hydroxide, ferric hydroxide, arsenious sulphide.
• Dialysis of sol-prepared in (a) above.
• Study of the role of emulsifying agents in stabilising the emulsion of different oils.

Chemical Kinetics

• Effect of concentration and temperature on the reaction rate between Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric acid.
• Study of reaction rates of any one of the following:
  • Reaction of Iodide ions with Hydrogen Peroxide at room temperature using different concentrations of Iodide ions.
  • Reaction between Potassium iodide (KIO3) and Sodium Sulphite (Na2SO3) using starch solution as an indicator (clock reaction).
