Questions and Answers

What is the primary characteristic of lyophilic colloids?

  • They are typically found in gaseous states
  • They have a weak interaction between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium
  • They have a strong interaction between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium (correct)
  • They are composed of macromolecules

Which type of colloid is likely to have a weak interaction between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium?

  • Lyophilic colloid
  • Association colloid
  • Lyophobic colloid (correct)
  • Solvent sheath

What is the purpose of the dispersion medium in a colloidal system?

  • To increase the surface area of the dispersed phase
  • To act as a barrier between the dispersed phase and the solvent
  • To facilitate the interaction between the dispersed phase and the solvent (correct)
  • To enhance the stability of the colloidal system

Study Notes

Colloidal Systems

  • Colloidal materials form colloidal dispersions or sols with relative ease due to their affinity for the dispersion medium.

Types of Colloidal Systems

  • Classified according to the interaction between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.

Lyophilic Colloids

  • Contain colloidal particles that interact with the dispersion medium to an appreciable extent.
  • Referred to as solvent-loving (lyophilic) colloids.
  • Three types of dispersed systems based on the size of the dispersed phase:
    • Molecular dispersions
    • Colloidal dispersions
    • Coarse dispersions
