Question:

Which property of colloidal solution is independent of charge on the colloidal particles?

Electro-osmosis

Coagulation

Tyndall effect

Electrophoresis

Solution:

Tyndall effect is independent of charge on the colloidal particles. It is an optical property and depends on the size of the colloidal particles. The Tyndall effect, also known as Tyndall scattering, is light scattering by particles in a colloid or particles in a fine suspension. However, electro-osmosis, coagulation, and electrophoresis depend on the charge on the colloidal particles. These are electrical properties.
