Study Notes
Disperse Systems
- A disperse system is a mixture of two or more components where one substance (dispersed phase) is distributed in discrete units throughout a second substance (dispersed medium/continuous phase).
- Each phase can be in solid, liquid, or gaseous states.
- Examples of disperse systems:
- Liquid aerosol: Fog, hair sprays
- Solid aerosol: Smoke cloud, dust
- Foam: Soap, beer foams, whipped cream
- Emulsion: Milk, mayonnaise
- Sol: Blood, pigmented ink
- Solid foam: Pumice foam
- Gel: Agar, gelatin jelly, opal
- Solid sol: Jewel, gemstone
Types of Disperse Systems
-
Molecular dispersion/True solutions: Homogenous system with particle size under 100 nm.
- Can be filtered and must be stirred to stay suspended.
- Colloid dispersion/Heterogenous dispersion: Microheterogenous system with particle size between 1-500 nm (plasma, macromolecular solutions).
- Coarse dispersions/Heterogenous dispersion: Heterogenous system with particle size larger than 500 nm (blood, milk).
Suspensions & Emulsions
- Suspension: A mixture in which solid particles are dispersed in a liquid or gas. These can be easily separated using filtration.
-
Emulsion: A suspension of liquid droplets (dispersed phase) in a second immiscible liquid (continuous phase).
- O/W (Oil in Water): Oil droplets dispersed in water (e.g., milk).
- W/O (Water in Oil): Water droplets dispersed in oil (e.g., butter).
- Requires emulsifying agents.
- Stability can be engineered to vary from seconds to years.
Colloidal Dispersion
- A system with particles of colloidal size (1-100 nm) dispersed in a continuous phase of a different composition (or state).
-
History: The term "colloid" was coined by Thomas Graham in 1862.
- "Colloid" refers to substances that do not diffuse through a semi-permeable membrane.
- "Crystalloid" refers to substances that do diffuse and are in true solution.
Types of Colloidal Systems
-
Lyophilic Colloids: "Solvent-loving." These colloids form stable sols when mixed with the suitable liquid due to strong attraction between colloidal particles and liquid (e.g., gums, starch, proteins).
- Hydrophilic colloids: Water-loving colloids.
- Hydrophilic sols: Colloidal dispersion of hydrophilic colloids.
- Stability: Very stable and easily prepared; addition of large quantities of electrolytes can cause precipitation.
- Reversibility: Reversible.
-
Lyophobic Colloids: "Solvent-hating." These colloids form sols only with specific techniques due to weak attraction between colloidal particles and liquid (e.g., metals, sulfides, metal hydroxides).
- Hydrophobic colloids: Water-hating colloids
- Hydrophobic sols: Colloidal dispersion of hydrophobic colloids.
- Stability: Less stable; addition of electrolytes can cause precipitation.
- Reversibility: Irreversible.
-
Associated Colloids (Micelles): Micelles are electrically neutral particles with a colloidal particle as the core and two layers of ions as the shell.
- Mechanism: The particles of a colloid selectively absorb ions and acquire an electric charge. These charges repel each other, stabilizing the solution.
- Structure: The layer of ions closer to the nucleus is the adsorption layer, and the outer layer is the diffusion layer.
- Zeta () Potential: The electrokinetic potential of the granule, responsible for the stability of colloidal solutions.
Factors Affecting Stability of Colloidal Solutions
- Instability (coagulation): Destabilization of colloids by neutralizing the electric charge, resulting in aggregation of particles.
- Coagulation Factors: Heating, increasing concentration, adding electrolytes, adding another colloid with oppositely charged particles.
Preparation of Colloids
- Lyophilic sols: Prepared by direct mixing with the suitable liquid.
- Lyophobic sols: Prepared using special techniques.
Associated Colloids
- Micelle Formation: Micelles form due to the selective absorption of ions by the colloidal particles, creating an electric charge that stabilizes the solution.
- Micelle Structure: The structure consists of a core (nucleus), an adsorption layer, and a diffusion layer.
True Solutions
- A true solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more substances where the dissolved substance (solute) has a particle size less than 1 nm.
- Properties: Particles of a true solution cannot be filtered and are not visible to the naked eye.
Solubility
- Solubility: The maximum quantity of solute that dissolves in a specific solvent at a given temperature.
-
Temperature Effects:
- Most solids dissolve more at higher temperatures.
- Some solids have slight changes in solubility with temperature changes.
- Some solids decrease in solubility with increased temperature.
-
Pressure Effects:
- Small pressure changes have little effect on the solubility of solids and liquids in liquids.
- Small pressure changes have significant effects on the solubility of gases in liquids.
- Solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid.
Saturated, Unsaturated, and Supersaturated Solutions
-
Saturated Solution: Contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a specific temperature.
- Equilibrium: Rate of dissolving equals the rate of crystallization.
- Unsaturated Solution: Contains less than the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a specific temperature.
-
Supersaturated Solution: Contains more solute than can be dissolved at a specific temperature.
-
Stability: Unstable; supersaturation is temporary and can be achieved by:
- Warming the solvent to increase solubility and then cooling.
- Evaporating some solvent carefully.
-
Stability: Unstable; supersaturation is temporary and can be achieved by:
Analytic Reactions
- An analytic reaction is a type of irreversible ion exchange reaction that occurs in electrolyte solutions, leading to a change in the solution.
- The substance that causes this change is called the reagent, and the external effect is called the analytic signal.
- This analytic signal can be observed through precipitate formation, dissolution, color change, or gas production.
- The reaction can be written in both molecular and ionic equations, often showcasing the specific ions and their reactions.
Pb2+ Ion Analytic Reactions
- The reaction of Pb2+ with chloride ions leads to the formation of a white precipitate of lead chloride (PbCl2).
- The reaction of Pb2+ with iodide ions leads to the formation of a yellow precipitate of lead iodide (PbI2).
Fe3+ Ion Analytic Reactions
- The reaction of Fe3+ with thiocyanate ions (CNS-) forms a blood-red complex.
NH4+ Ion Analytic Reactions
- When heated, the reaction of ammonium ions (NH4+) with hydroxide ions (OH-) produces ammonia gas (NH3), which can be detected by its distinct odor.
CO32- Ion Analytic Reactions
- The reaction of CO32- with Ba2+ ions leads to the formation of a white precipitate of barium carbonate (BaCO3).
- Another reaction, involving CO32- and H+ ions, results in the release of CO2 gas, causing bubbles in the solution.
SO42- Ion Analytic Reactions
- The reaction of SO42- with Ba2+ ions forms a white precipitate of barium sulphate (BaSO4).
Characteristics of Analytic Reactions
- Sensitivity: The ability to detect minimal amounts of the substance being investigated. This can be expressed as the minimal weight, concentration, or dilution limit that can still be detected.
- Specificity: A reaction specific to one ion or molecule, unaffected by other ions in the solution.
- Selectivity: Reactions specific to a group of ions with similar properties, referred to as group reactions. These reactions can be used to categorize ions based on their group reagent behavior.
Group Reagents and Classification of Cations
- The classification of cations is based on their reactivity with specific chemicals: hydrochloric acid, hydrogen sulfide, ammonium sulfide, and ammonium carbonate.
- This categorization focuses on the differences in the solubility of their chlorides, sulfides, and carbonates.
Five Groups of Cations

Electrolytes and Nonelectrolytes
- Electrolytes are substances that conduct electricity when dissolved in water due to the dissociation into ions. Examples include acids, bases, and soluble ionic compounds.
- Nonelectrolytes do not conduct electricity as they do not dissociate in solution. Examples include molecular compounds and insoluble ionic compounds.
Reactions in Electrolyte Solutions
- Reactions in electrolyte solutions occur between ions.
- These reactions can be reversible or irreversible.
- Reversible reactions can be represented by equilibrium arrows.
- Irreversible reactions are generally driven by the formation of insoluble compounds, gases, weak electrolytes, or complex compounds.
Examples of Irreversible Reactions
-
Formation of insoluble compounds:
- AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl ↓ + NaNO3
-
Formation of gases:
- Na2S + 2 HCl → 2 NaCl + H2S ↑
-
Formation of weak electrolytes (acids, bases, water):
- HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
-
Formation of complex compounds:
- Fe(CN)2 + 4 KCN → K4[Fe(CN)6]
Analytic Reactions
- Analytic reactions are irreversible ion exchange reactions in electrolyte solutions.
- The external effect of these reactions (analytic signal) indicate the presence of an ion in the solution.
- Analytic reactions are characterized by their sensitivity and specificity.
- Sensitivity of analytic reactions is the ability to detect minimal amounts of test material.
- Specific reactions are specific to one ion or molecule and are not interfered by other ions in the solution.
- Some reactions are specific to ions with similar properties.
- These are called selective reactions.
- For example, the reaction of NH4+ with NaOH produces ammonia and is specific to salts of ammonium, allowing for the detection of ammonium ions.
- Selective reactions are specific to a group of ions.
Classification of Cations
- Cations are classified into groups based on their reactions with specific reagents.
- The group reagents used to classify the most common cations are hydrochloric acid, hydrogen sulfide, ammonium sulfide, and ammonium carbonate.
- The five groups of cations are based on the differences in solubilities of their chlorides, sulfides, and carbonates.

Electrolytes and Non-Electrolytes
- Electrolytes are substances that conduct electricity in solution.
- When an ionic compound dissolves in water, it dissociates into ions, and the resulting solution conducts electricity.
- Acids, bases, and soluble ionic solutions are electrolytes.
- Non-electrolytes are substances that do not conduct electricity.

- Ion exchange reactions are reversible when soluble and easily dissociated compounds are formed.
- For example: KCl + NaBr ↔ KBr + NaCl
- Ion exchange reactions are irreversible when:
- Difficulty soluble compounds are formed
- For example: AgNO3 + NaCI → AgCI↓ + NaNO3
- Gases are formed: Na2S + 2HCI → 2 NaCI + H2S↑
