17
Q
  • possess large specific surface
    gold sol: Red -> Blue (larger)

    Sb and As trisulfides: Yellow -> Red (larger)
A

colloidal particles

18
Q

colloidal form of Pt

A

platinum black

19
Q

*More extended
→ greater Specific surface
→ greater interaction between
dispersed phase and dispersion medium

A

shape of colloidal particles

20
Q
  • Scattering of light by colloidal particles
  • widely used for determining MW of colloids
A

Faraday-Tyndall Effect

21
Q
  • Used to observe the size, shape, and
    structure of colloidal particles
  • Has higher resolution power than
    optical microscope
A

Electron microscope

22
Q

brownian movement, diffusion, osmotic pressure, sedimentation (settling), viscosity

A

kinetic properties of colloids

23
Q
  • random movement of colloidal particles
  • velocity increases with decreasing particle size
A

Brownian Movement

24
Q
  • spontaneous movement from high to low
    concentration until uniform system is achieved
  • a direct results of Brownian movement
A

Diffusion

25
Q

diffusion can be expressed through?

A

Fick’s First Law

26
Q

can be described by van’t Hoff equation

A

Osmotic Pressure

27
Q

Van’t Hoff Equation:

A

𝝅=𝒄𝑹𝑻

28
Q
  • velocity of sedimentation is given by Stoke’s law
A

Sedimentation (Settling)

29
Q
  • resistance to flow of a system under applied stress
  • more viscous →greater force to make it flow
  • affected by shape of particles
    e.g. SPHERICAL →less viscous
    LINEAR →more viscous
A

Viscosity
