When a strong beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution, then scattering of light is absorbed.
When an electric current is passed through a colloidal solution, the colloidal particles may migrate towards the electrodes due to the electrical charge. This process is known as electrophoresis. Additionally, the movement of colloidal particles may cause them to coagulate or form larger aggregates.
The cations and anoin moves towards opposite electrodes ... or they will settle at the bottom
Either the bulb will start glowing or the magnetic needle will show deflection

When dry HCl gas is passed through a saturated solution of sodium chloride (NaCl), no visible reaction occurs. The sodium chloride remains dissolved in the water, as HCl gas does not react with NaCl in this situation.
2 NaOH(aq) + CO2(g) = Na2CO3(aq) + H2O(l)
Sulfur dioxide gas passed through an acidic dichromate solution turns the solution from orange to green.
Sea water is a solution.
When sulfuric acid is passed through charcoal, the charcoal adsorbs the acid molecules on its surface due to its porous nature. This absorption process helps to remove sulfuric acid impurities from the solution. The charcoal acts as a filter, trapping the acid molecules and purifying the solution.
If the colloid is metallic (e.g. silver or gold), then the current will increase, as the colloid is more conductive than plain water. The current will strip off atoms of a donor metal (silver or gold) which will want to migrate to the opposite polarity (pos and neg), if the voltage and current are correctly set, the particle size will be small and will stay in solution and become a colloidal solution. Tiny amounts of current is key here. In the few milliamp range. 27v - 30v DC and 5 - 20 ma is best for making a colloidal silver for example, as at such low amps, the particle size is very small, and is a true colloid.
To be a true solution seawater must be filtered.
The bulb glows dimly when current is passed through a vinegar solution because the small number of ions in the vinegar solution move through the filament of the bulb.
