Study Notes
Colloids
- A colloid is a mixture in which one substance consists of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles that are distributed throughout another substance.
- The particles in a colloid are larger than those in a solution, but smaller than those in a suspension.
Separating Colloidal Particles
- Centrifugation is a technique used to separate colloidal particles from a mixture.
Light Scattering in Colloids
- When a beam of light passes through a colloid, it scatters in all directions due to thepresence of dispersed particles, a phenomenon known as Tyndall effect.
