- 4. Colloids Solute and solvent are replaced by dispersed phase & dispersion medium Sols( solid in liquid),gels(liquids in solids), emulsions (liquid in liquid) Size of particles lies between that of true solution and suspension, i.e. 10 Ao to 1000 Ao
- 5. Property True solution Suspension Colloidal solution Nature Heterogeneous Appears to be homogenous but actually heterogeneous Particle size < 10–9 Ao (1 nm) > 1000 Ao (100 nm) Between 10 Ao (1 nm) to 1000 Ao (100 nm) Sedimentation Do not settle Settle on standing Do not settle Diffusion Diffuse quickly Unable to diffuse Diffuse slowly Visibility Particles invisible Particles visible by naked eye or under microscope Particles scatter light and can be observed under ultramicroscope Filterability Pass easily through animal membrane and filter paper Unable to pass through animal membrane or filter paper Pass through filter paper but not through animal membrane Appearance Clear and transparent Opaque Translucent Homogeneous
- 6. Classification of colloids Classification is based on following criteria Physical state of dispersed phase and dispersion medium. Nature of interaction between dispersed phase and dispersion medium. Types of particles of the dispersed phase.
- 7. Classification based on physical state of dispersed phase and dispersion medium Eight types of colloidal systems are possible. Dispersed phase Dispersion medium Type of colloid Example Solid Solid Solid sol Some coloured glasses, and gem stones Solid Liquid Sol Paints, cell fluids Solid Gas Aerosol Smoke, dust Liquid Solid Gel Cheese butter, jellies Liquid Liquid Emulsion Milk, hair cream Liquid Gas Aerosol Fog, mist, cloud, insecticide sprays Gas Solid Solid sol Pumice stone, foam rubber Gas Liquid Foam Froth, whipped cream, soap- lather
- 8. Classification based on nature of interaction Lyophobic colloids (solvent hating colloids ) When metals and their sulphides simply mixed with dispersion medium, they don’t form colloids. • need stabilizing to preserve them. • irreversible. • For example, colloidal solutions of gold,silver, Fe(OH)3, As2S3, etc. Lyophilic colloids ( solvent loving) Directly formed by substances like gum, gelatine rubber etc. on mixing with a suitable liquid(the dispersion medium). • self-stabilizing • reversible sols • For example, gums, gelatin, starch, albumin in water.
- 9. Classification based on type of particles of the dispersed phase Multimolecular colloids : Consists of aggregates of a large number of atoms or smaller molecules whose diameter is less than 1 nm Macromolecular colloids: In these colloids, the molecules have sizes and dimensions comparable to colloidal particles. For example, proteins, starch, cellulose.
- 10. Associated colloids At low concentrations, behave as normal, strong electrolytes At higher concentrations exhibit colloidal state properties due to the formation of aggregated particles (micelles) The formation of micelles takes place only above a particular temperature called Kraft temperature (Tk) and above a particular micelle concentration called Critical Micelle Concentration E.g Soaps and detergents
- 11. Multimolecular colloids Macromolecular colloids Associated colloids Formed by aggregation of large number of atoms or molecules with diameters less than 1 nm Formed by aggregation of large number of ions in concentrated solution Lyophilic in nature Lyophobic in nature Both lyophilic and lyophobic in nature Molecular mass is intermediate High molecular mass High molecular mass Held by weak van der Waals’ forces Held by stronger van der Waals’ forces due to the long chains van der Waals’ forces increase with increase in concentration Formed by large sized molecules
- 12. Preparation of Lyophobic sols Condensation methods Particles of atomic or molecular size are induced to form aggregates Exchange of solvent Colloidal solution of phosphorus is prepared by addition of alcohol into a solution of phosphorous in excess water. Oxidation method Sulphur colloids are prepared by oxidation of H2S by O2. Reduction Silver colloids are prepared by passing H2 through a saturated aqueous solution of silver oxide at 65° C. Hydrolysis Dark brown Fe(OH)3 colloidal solution is prepared by adding FeCl3 into boiling water. Double decomposition Arsenious sulphide colloidal solution is prepared by passing of H2S gas into a solution of As2O3.
- 13. Preparation of Lyophobic sols Dispersion methods Mechanical disintegration By vigorous mechanical agitation. Peptization : Process of passing of a precipitate into colloidal particles on adding suitable electrolyte is known as peptisation e.g. Fe(OH)3 solution is formed from FeCl3. Electrol-disintegration (Bredig’s arc method) Electrical disintegration of a colloidal solution, e.g. alternating current passed through a gold solution.
- 14. Purification of colloids Ultrafiltration In this process the colloidal particles are separated by the process of filtration, through a filter paper, which is impregnated with gelatin or collodion followed by hardening in formaldehyde. Dialysis In this process, the colloidal particles are separated from the impurities (mainly electrolytes) by the diffusion through a porous membrane such as parchment, collodion, etc. Electrodialysis This is a special type of dialysis process, which is accelerated by the application of a potential difference across the membrane. So ions migrate faster than the colloids .
- 15. Properties of colloids Optical properties: Tyndall effect When a beam of light falls at right angles to the line of view through a solution, the solution appears to be luminescent and due to scattering of light the path becomes visible. Quite strong in lyophobic colloids while in lyophilic colloids it is quite weak.
- 16. Properties of colloids Brownian movement: Zig- zag movement of colloidal particles in a colloidal sol
- 17. Properties of colloids Movement of colloidal particles under influence of electric field Electrophoresis
- 18. Properties of colloids Electro-osmosis: molecules of dispersion medium are allowed to move under influence of electric field Coagulation or flocculation:Process which involves coming together of colloidal particles so as to change into large sized particles which ultimately settle as a precipitate or float on surface.It is generally brought about by addition of electrolytes. The minimum amount of an electrolyte that must be added to one litre of a colloidal solution so as to bring about complete coagulation or flocculation is called coagulation or flocculation value.Smaller is the flocculation value of an electrolyte,greater is the coagulating or precipitating power.
- 19. Properties of colloids For positively charged, then the coagulating power of electrolytes follow the following order: 3 2 4 4 PO SO Cl Hardy schulze law : Coagulating power of an electrolyte increases rapidly with the increase in the valency of cation or anion. For negatively charged sol, the coagulating power of electrolytes are AlCl3 > BaCl2 > NaCl or Al3+ > Ba2+ > Na+
- 20. Gold Number Covering up of lyophobic particles by lyophilic particles is known as its protective action and such colloids are called protective colloids. Gold number is defined as amount of protective sol that will prevent the coagulation of 10 ml of a gold solution on the addition of 1 ml of 10% NaCl solution. Smaller the gold number,higher is protective power
- 21. Emulsion A colloidal dispersion of one liquid in another immiscible liquid is known as an emulsion, e.g. milk, Na-soaps, vanishing cream, etc. 1. Oil in water, where oil is the dispersed phase and water is the dispersion medium, e.g. milk. 2. Water in oil where water is the dispersed phase and oil is the dispersed medium, e.g. butter, cream. Types of emulsions
- 22. Cleaning Action of Soap Soap contains a nonpolar carbon end that dissolves in nonpolar fats and oils, and a polar end that dissolves in water. Dust and soap molecules form micelles that dissolve in water and are washed away. Soap forms a precipitate with ions in hard water (Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe3+)
