Term
are heterogeneous mixtures solutions?
Definition
no
Term
how many substances can be identified in a heterogeneous mixture?
Definition
at least 2
Term
a mixture from which some of the particles settle out slowly upon standing
Definition
suspension
Term
what is the typical diamter of particles in a suspension?
Definition
1000 nm
Term
how does the role of gravity change between a solution and a suspension?
Definition
because of the bigger particle size in suspensions, gravity plays a bigger role in suspensions
Term
what will pass through a filter when a suspension containing water is poured?
Definition
only the water wll pass through, suspension particles are too big
Term
a mixture whose particles are intermediate in size between those of a suspension and a solution
Definition
colloid
Term
what states can a dispersion medium be in?
Definition
solid, liquid, gas
Term
what are three examples of colloids?
Definition
paint, glue, gelatin
Term
how can colloids be like suspensions?
Definition
can be cloudy or milky when concentrated
Term
how can colloids be like solutions?
Definition
they can be clear when dilute
Term
what is the diamter of colloid particles like relative to solution and sspension particles?
Definition
bigger than solution particles and smaller than suspension particles
Term
can colloid particles pass through a filter?
Definition
yes
Term
do colloid particles settle with standing time?
Definition
no
Term
can colloid particles coagulate?
Definition
yes
Term
can colloid particles emulsify or be made stable
Definition
yes
Term
scattering of light by particles in a colloid or suspension, which causes a beam of light to become visible
Definition
tyndall effect
Term
other than colloids, what exhibits the tyndall effect?
Definition
suspensions
Term
why do solutions not exhibit the tyndall effect?
Definition
the particles are too small
Term
the chaotic movement of colloidal particles, caused by collision with particles of the solvent in which they are dispersed
Definition
brownian motion
Term
what helps colloidal particles from settling?
Definition
brownian motion
Term
what causes colloidal particles to coagulate?
Definition
particles absorbing a positive or negative charge
Term
what will a large aggregate in a colloid do?
Definition
precipitate from the dispersion
Term
the colloidal dispersion of one liquid in another
Definition
emulsion
Term
what are two emulsifying agents?
Definition
soap and detergent
Term
what do emulsions do?
Definition
allow colloid dispersion between liquids that do not normally mix
