Abstract
GHOSH and Rakshit1 have measured the ζ-potentials of a titanic oxide sol in the presence of equicoagulating concentrations of electrolytes. An attempt has been made here to calculate the ζ-potentials of the colloid particles of a titanic oxide sol at flocculating concentrations of electrolytes from an analysis of the nature of the curves of total potential energy of interaction of two spherical colloid particles, and to compare these calculated values with those obtained by Ghosh and Rakshit by electro-osmotic measurements.
