Colloids

When salt is added to water, it dissolves to form a solution. Conversely, when sand is added to water and stirred, the sand particles are spread throughout the liquid to form a suspension, and finally settle at the bottom.
However, when flour is added to water, the water becomes cloudy. This is because flour and water form a colloidal dispersion or a colloid.
A colloid is a mixture in which particles of a solute-like substance are finely dispersed in a solvent-like medium.
The dispersed particles and the dispersing medium can be any combination of solid and liquid, such as opal, liquid and liquid, such as milk, liquid and gas, such as whipped cream, except that they cannot both be gases.
Properties of a colloid are intermediate between those of suspensions and solutions.
Colloids are heterogeneous mixtures like suspensions, in contrast to solutions, which are homogeneous.
With a size of 5 to 1000 nanometers, colloidal particles are much larger than the usual solute molecules, which are around 1 nanometer or less, and smaller than suspended particles, which are 10,000 nanometers or larger.
A laser beam passing through a solution is invisible but can be easily seen in a colloidal dis

colloids

Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles that are visible to the naked eye or can be seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. On the other hand, a solution is a homogeneous mixture in which no settling occurs and in which the dissolved species are molecules or ions. Solutions exhibit completely different behavior from suspensions. A solution may be colored, but it is transparent, the molecules or ions are invisible, and they do not settle out on standing. Another class of mixtures called colloids (or colloidal dispersions) exhibit properties intermediate between those of suspensions and solutions. The particles in a colloid are larger than most simple molecules; however, colloidal particles are small enough that they do not settle out upon standing.
Preparation of Colloidal Systems
Colloids are prepared by producing particles of colloidal dimensions and distributing these particles throughout a dispersion medium. Particles of colloidal size are formed by two methods: 
 
&#8226; Dispersion methods: breaking down larger particles. For example, paint pigments are produced by dispersing large particles by grinding in special mills. 
&#8226; Condensation methods: growth from smaller units, such as molecules or ions. For example, clouds form when water molecules condense and form very small droplets.
A few solid substances, when brought into contact with water, disperse spontaneously and form colloidal systems. Gelatin, glue, starch, and dehydrated milk powder behave in this manner. The particles are already of colloidal size; the water simply disperses them. Powdered milk particles of colloidal size are produced by dehydrating milk spray. Some atomizers produce colloidal dispersions of a liquid in air.
An emulsion may be prepared by shaking together or blending two immiscible liquids. This breaks one liquid into droplets of colloidal size, which then disperse throughout the other liquid. Oil spills in the ocean may be difficult to clean up, partly because wave action can cause the oil and water to form an emulsion. In many emulsions, however, the dispersed phase tends to coalesce, form large drops, and separate. Therefore, emulsions are usually stabilized by an emulsifying agent, a substance that inhibits the coalescence of the dispersed liquid. For example, a little soap will stabilize an emulsion of kerosene in water. Milk is an emulsion of butterfat in water, with the protein casein serving as the emulsifying agent. Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil in vinegar, with egg yolk components as the emulsifying agents.
Condensation methods form colloidal particles by aggregation of molecules or ions. If the particles grow beyond the colloidal size range, drops or precipitates form, and no colloidal system results. Clouds form when water molecules aggregate and form colloid-sized particles. If these water particles coalesce to form adequately large water drops of liquid water or crystals of solid water, they settle from the sky as rain, sleet, or snow. Many condensation methods involve chemical reactions. A red colloidal suspension of iron(III) hydroxide may be prepared by mixing a concentrated solution of iron(III) chloride with hot water:

A colloidal gold sol results from the reduction of a very dilute solution of gold(III) chloride by a reducing agent such as formaldehyde, tin(II) chloride, or iron(II) sulfate:

Some gold sols prepared in 1857 are still intact (the particles have not coalesced and settled), illustrating the long-term stability of many colloids.
Soaps and Detergents
Pioneers made soap by boiling fats with a strongly basic solution made by leaching potassium carbonate, K2CO3, from wood ashes with hot water. Animal fats contain polyesters of fatty acids (long-chain carboxylic acids). When animal fats are treated with a base like potassium carbonate or sodium hydroxide, glycerol and salts of fatty acids such as palmitic, oleic, and stearic acid are formed. The salts of fatty acids are called soaps. The sodium salt of stearic acid, sodium stearate, contains an uncharged nonpolar hydrocarbon chain, the C17H35 unit, and an ionic carboxylate group, the COO&#8722; unit.
The cleaning action of soaps and detergents can be explained in terms of the structures of the molecules involved. The hydrocarbon (nonpolar) end of a soap or detergent molecule dissolves in or is attracted to nonpolar substances, such as oil, grease, or dirt particles. The ionic end is attracted by water (polar). As a result, the soap or detergent molecules become oriented at the interface between the dirt particles and the water, so they act as a kind of bridge between two different kinds of matter, nonpolar and polar. Molecules such as this are termed amphiphilic since they have both a hydrophobic (&#8220;water-fearing&#8221;) part and a hydrophilic (&#8220;water-loving&#8221;) part. As a consequence, dirt particles become suspended as colloidal particles and are readily washed away.

Solutions and Colloids

KEY TERMS AND CONCEPTS

colloids and everyday mixtures

Colloids are mixtures with particles between the size of a solution and a suspension. They stay dispersed instead of settling out, even though their particles are larger than most simple molecules. This makes colloids different from cloudy suspensions like mud and water, flour and water, or tempera paint. It also makes them different from solutions, where dissolved molecules or ions are invisible and do not settle.

Colloidal systems can be made in two main ways. In dispersion methods, larger particles are broken down into colloidal size, as when paint pigments are ground in special mills. In condensation methods, smaller units such as molecules or ions grow together to form colloidal particles. Clouds are a familiar example, because water molecules condense into tiny droplets.

Some substances form colloids when they touch water. Gelatin, glue, starch, and dehydrated milk powder can disperse on their own because their particles are already in the colloidal size range. Powdered milk is made by dehydrating milk spray. Some atomizers also produce colloidal dispersions of a liquid in air.

An emulsion is a colloid made from two liquids that do not mix. Shaking or blending breaks one liquid into tiny droplets that spread through the other liquid. Oil spills can be harder to clean because wave action may create an emulsion of oil and water. Many emulsions need an emulsifying agent, which helps stop the droplets from joining back together. Soap can stabilize an emulsion of kerosene in water. Milk is an emulsion of butterfat in water, with casein as the emulsifying agent. Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil in vinegar, with egg yolk components doing the same job.

Condensation methods can also come from chemical reactions. A red colloidal suspension of iron(III) hydroxide can be made by mixing concentrated iron(III) chloride with hot water. A colloidal gold sol can form when a very dilute gold(III) chloride solution is reduced by formaldehyde, tin(II) chloride, or iron(II) sulfate. Some gold sols made in 1857 are still intact, which shows how stable many colloids can be.

Soaps and detergents help explain colloids in daily life. Early soap was made by boiling fats with a strong base made from potassium carbonate in wood ashes. Animal fats contain polyesters of fatty acids. When fats react with potassium carbonate or sodium hydroxide, they form glycerol and salts of fatty acids such as palmitic, oleic, and stearic acid. These salts are soaps. Sodium stearate has a nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and an ionic carboxylate group.

Soap and detergent molecules clean because they are amphiphilic, meaning they have both a hydrophobic part and a hydrophilic part. The nonpolar end is attracted to oil, grease, and dirt. The ionic end is attracted to water. This lets the molecules sit at the boundary between dirt and water and act like a bridge. The dirt becomes suspended as colloidal particles and can be washed away.

solution formation

Why Some Substances Dissolve Better

Some substances dissolve easily in one solvent but not in another. A quick way to predict solubility is the idea that "like dissolves like." Polar substances, such as salt and sugar, dissolve well in polar solvents like water. Non-polar substances are more soluble in non-polar solvents such as carbon tetrachloride. This selective solubility depends on intermolecular forces, which are the attractions within and between molecules. Stronger forces between solute and solvent molecules lead to...

How Solutions Form Without Energy Change

A solution can form as a spontaneous process. That means it happens under the right conditions without energy from an outside source. When the attraction between solute and solvent particles is about the same as the attraction in the separate substances, the solution forms with no energy change. A solution like this is called an ideal solution. Mixtures of ideal gases are one example, and helium and argon behave close to that model. These gases do not have significant intermolecular...

enthalpy of solution

Dissolution and Heat Changes

Dissolution and heat changes help explain why some solutions form on their own. Two factors can favor the spontaneous formation of a solution. One is a decrease in internal energy, which happens in an exothermic change. The other is increased dispersal of matter, which means the solute spreads evenly through the solvent. When a substance dissolves, the internal energy often changes as heat is absorbed or released. This does not happen in every case, but it is common. A solution forms when...

How Water Dissolves Ionic Compounds

Water dissolves ionic compounds because its polar molecules attract ions. This attraction between an ion and a molecule with a dipole is called an ion-dipole attraction. It helps explain why many ionic solids can separate in water and form aqueous solutions. When an ionic compound dissolves, its ions separate and spread out evenly through the solution. Water molecules surround the ions and solvate them, which lowers the strong electrostatic forces between the ions. This separation is a...

solution equilibrium and saturation

Saturation Limits in Solutions

Saturation limits in solutions describe how much solute can dissolve in a solvent under given conditions. As sugar is added to water and stirred, it dissolves at first. More sugar can be added until the solution reaches its natural limit. That limit depends mainly on the relative strengths of three attractions: solute-solute, solute-solvent, and solvent-solvent forces. When no more sugar dissolves, even after long stirring, undissolved sugar stays behind. The concentration of sugar in the...

physical properties affecting solubility

Gas Solubility in Liquids

Gas solubility in liquids depends on the attractive forces between the gas and the liquid. When a gas dissolves, there is no strong solute-solute attraction to break apart first. Gas particles are already far apart, so their internal interactions are negligible. That makes solute-solvent interactions the main energetic factor that controls how much gas can dissolve. Examples show how these interactions matter. Oxygen is about three times more soluble in water than helium because oxygen has...

expressing solution concentration

Measuring Solution Strength

Solution strength can be described with terms like dilute and concentrated, and it can also be measured with several scientific units. A solute is the part of a solution present at a lower amount than the solvent. Different units are useful in different situations, especially in chemistry. Molarity, written as M, is a common unit for concentration. It tells how many moles of solute are in one liter of solution. Because solution volume changes with temperature, molarity can change too when the...

vapor pressure lowering

Raoult's Law and Lower Vapor Pressure

Raoult’s law explains why a solution with a nonvolatile solute has a lower vapor pressure than the pure liquid. Vapor pressure is the pressure from a liquid’s gas phase when vaporization and condensation happen at equal rates. When a nonvolatile substance dissolves in a volatile liquid, the liquid’s equilibrium vapor pressure drops. One reason for this drop is at the surface of the solution. Solvent molecules must be at the surface to vaporize, and added solute molecules reduce the surface...

ideal solutions

Raoult's Law in Real Solutions

Raoult's law describes how vapor pressure changes in a solution. For a solvent, the partial vapor pressure equals the vapor pressure of the pure solvent multiplied by its mole fraction in the solution. This relationship works best for ideal solutions. An ideal solution is one in which solvent-solute attractions are just as strong as solvent-solvent and solute-solute attractions. In that case, both components need about the same amount of energy to escape into the vapor phase as they do in...

Colligative Effects in Solutions

Colligative effects in solutions include boiling point elevation and freezing point depression. These properties depend on how many solute particles are present, not on the solute’s chemical identity. Because of that, a solution can behave differently from the pure solvent even when only a nonvolatile solute is added. Boiling point elevation happens because the vapor pressure of a solution is lower than the vapor pressure of the pure solvent. The boiling point is the temperature at which vapor...

Semipermeable Membranes and Reverse Osmosis

Semipermeable membranes let some molecules pass while blocking others. They are found in biological cell membranes and in dialysis tubing used to remove metabolic wastes from blood. These examples show how selective permeation depends on factors such as size, shape, polarity, and charge. Osmosis is the net movement of solvent through a semipermeable membrane. In a U-shaped setup, pure solvent and a solution are separated by a membrane that allows only solvent molecules to pass. Solvent...

electrolytes: van't hoff factor

Electrolyte Ions and the van't Hoff Factor

Electrolyte ions affect colligative properties because these properties depend on the number of dissolved particles, not their identity. The concentration terms used for freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, and osmotic pressure include every solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve without dissociation, so each molecule that enters solution counts as one particle. Electrolytes behave differently because they can form ions in water. If sodium chloride were...
