Question

Which of the following statements are TRUE regarding Gels?

Select all that apply.

A. Gels usually need to be shaken to liquefy them for pouring because they may form a thixotrope.

Solution

A. True. Gels can form a thixotrope, which is a gel that becomes less viscous when shaken or stirred. This is why they often need to be shaken before pouring.

B. False. Gels are not made of plastic. They are typically a semi-solid system of two or more substances, one of which is a liquid, usually water.

C. True. In single phase gels, the macromolecules are uniformly distributed throughout a liquid. This gives the gel its semi-solid properties.

D. True. Two phase gels do have floccules of small particles. These types of gels are also referred to as magmas.
