Mixtures- colloid, suspension, solution

• Solution


  Homogeneous mixture
• Concentrated solution


  High amount of solute
• Diluted solution


  Low amount of solute
• Differentiate concentrated solution from diluted solution
• Suspension


  Heterogeneous mixture containing large particles that settle out when left undisturbed
• Colloid


  Stable mixture in which undissolved particles or droplets stay mixed in another substance. Particles do not dissolve, yet do not settle out.
• Colloids


  • Show characteristics of both liquid and solid because the molecules that make colloids are either large molecules or clumps of molecules
  • Particles are large enough to scatter light
• Emulsion


  Suspension of two liquids that usually do not mix together. Requires an emulsifier to mix.
• Blood is an example of Colloidal Suspension
• Types of mixtures


  • Solution
  • Colloid
  • Suspension
• Solution


  • Particles are small
  • Cannot be separated using filter paper
  • Cannot scatter light
• Colloid


  • Particles are medium-sized
  • Cannot be separated using filter paper
  • Can scatter light
• Suspension


  • Particles are large
  • Can be separated using filter paper
  • Can scatter light for fine suspensions
• Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by particles in a colloid or some suspension
• Brownian motion is the constant movement of particles in a mixture
• A colloid is a type of mixture with properties intermediate between heterogeneous and homogeneous
• A compound is a pure substance that contains two or more elements
• An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids in which one is present as droplets, of microscopic or ultramicroscopic size, distributed throughout the other
• A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture
