Colloids and Suspensions

A solution is a mixture of solvent and solute. A solvent is generally a liquid in which various materials or solutes dissolve to form a solution. A solute is a substance dissolved in a solvent and forms a solution. The size of the substance or particles may vary such that the particles may be seen […]

Colloids

The microscopic, distributed insoluble particles of one material suspended in another are colloids (colloidal solutions and colloidal systems). Particles suspended in a colloid vary in size from one to a thousand nanometers (10-9 metres). The suspended particles of a combination must not sink to the bottom of the container to be considered a colloid. In

Classification of colloids – lyophilic, lyophobic

Introduction A mixture in which a substance with microscopically spread insoluble particles (this is known as the dispersed phase) is suspended throughout another substance (known as the dispersion medium) is termed as a colloid in chemistry. Colloids are broadly classified into lyophilic and lyophobic colloids based on their affinity with each other. As the name suggests, lyophilic colloids are lovers of liquid,

Classification of Colloids

Colloids are found mainly in nature and can also be made by humans. Since colloids have such a wide range of industrial applications, it’s critical to have a comprehensive categorisation system in place. A dispersed phase and a dispersion medium constitute colloids. Colloids are also called colloid dispersion because in a colloidal solution the particles

Classification Based on Properties of Sol Particle

A sol is a colloid with suspended particles in the solvent medium. There is a wide variety of particle sizes in the sols. These are prepared by different chemical processes such as condensation or dispersion. They have the tendency to show the Tyndall Effect (scattering of light through particles present in the solvent). Forms of

Classification Based on Dispersion Medium

All colloids have two phases, i.e., a dispersed phase and a dispersion medium. The dispersion medium is of three categories: liquid, gaseous, and solid, and the colloidal particles are scattered throughout the medium. These colloids are foams, emulsions, liquid aerosol, solid foam, gel, and solid sol. Most of the dispersion mediums are liquid and made

Chemical Formulae

INTRODUCTION Empirical, molecular, structural, and projection formulae are the most prevalent types of formulas. An empirical formula is made up of symbols that represent the components in a compound, such as Na for sodium and Cl for chlorine, as well as subscripts that indicate the number of atoms in each constituent element. (Unless the number

Brownian Movement in Colloids

A colloid is a heterogeneous system in which one substance is dispersed (dispersed phase) as very fine particles in another substance known as the dispersion medium. The primary difference between solution and colloid is the particle size. In solution, the constituent particles are ions or small molecules. In colloidal solutions, the dispersed phase may consist

Boyle’s Law

The relationship between the volume of a gas and its pressure was named Boyle’s law after Robert Boyle, who was an Irish scientist. He was the first to research the quantitative link between a gas’ volume and pressure in 1962. Robert Boyle was also an eminent natural philosopher, chemist, physicist, and inventor. Meaning of Boyle’s
