Detailed Solution

Dispersion medium is a continuous medium in which the dispersed phase is distributed throughout. Dispersed phase is the phase that is composed of particles that are distributed through another phase.

An alcohol is a colloidal solution that uses alcohol as the dispersion medium and a solid as the dispersed phase.

For example: Alcohol is a colloidal mixture of cellulose nitrate and ethyl alcohol.
