In which of the following systems, the dispersed phase and dispersion ...
Foam:
- Foam is a dispersion of gas bubbles in a liquid or solid medium.
- In foam, the dispersed phase is gas and the dispersion medium is liquid or solid.
- Therefore, foam does not satisfy the condition that both the dispersed phase and dispersion medium are solid.
Dust storm:
- A dust storm is a meteorological phenomenon in which a strong gust of wind carries dust or sand particles over a large area.
- In a dust storm, the dispersed phase is solid particles (dust or sand) and the dispersion medium is air.
- Therefore, dust storm does not satisfy the condition that both the dispersed phase and dispersion medium are solid.
Paints:
- Paint is a colloidal dispersion of solid particles (pigments) in a liquid medium.
- In paint, the dispersed phase is solid particles and the dispersion medium is liquid.
- Therefore, paints do not satisfy the condition that both the dispersed phase and dispersion medium are solid.
Colored glass:
- Colored glass is a solid solution in which a colorant (such as metal oxides) is added to the glass during its formation.
- In colored glass, the dispersed phase is solid particles (colorant) and the dispersion medium is also solid (glass).
- Therefore, colored glass satisfies the condition that both the dispersed phase and dispersion medium are solid.
Conclusion:
- Among the given options, colored glass is the only system in which both the dispersed phase and dispersion medium are solid.
- Hence, the correct answer is option 'D', Colored glass.
