Measuring zeta potential is useful in determining which property of a liquid formulation?

Option: 1

Viscosity


Option: 2

Stability of the colloidal particles


Option: 3

Solubility


Option: 4

Size of the colloidal particles


Answers (1)

Zeta potential measures the magnitude of the electric field existing between two particles in a liquid dispersion/suspension. 

Greater the Zeta potential more will be the stability of colloidal particles as there will be a balance between the repulsive interactions between the charges of the electrical double layer and attractive van der Waal interactions between molecules.

Therefore, option number (2) is correct.
