Lecture 1 Flashcards
a homogenous mixture that contains small particles
solution
the substance present in a larger amount
Solvent
the substance present in a lesser amount
Solute
Ionic compounds dissolved in water yields an _________
electrolyte
a homogenous mixture with larger particles often having an opaque appearance
colloid
has water as a solvent
aqueous solution
They do not settle out, dispersed uniformly throughout the mixture
COLLOIDS
is a heterogeneous mixture that contains large particles suspended in a liquid
suspension
Particles are so large they do not dissolve in a liquid
SUSPENSIONS
Suspensions can be filtered away from the liquid or separated using a ______
centrifuge
Blood has multiple components
o Solid components (blood cells)
o Liquid component (plasma)
o Dissolved substances (ions, proteins, gases)
It exhibits properties of both a colloid and a suspension
Blood
Size of RBC
7 to 8 micrometers in diameter
Solution Particle Size
Small, <1 nm
Colloid Particle Size
Larger, 1nm - 1um
Suspension Particle Size
Large, > 1um
The components cannot be separated by filtration
Solution
The components cannot be separated by common filtration techniques
Colloid
The components can be separated by filtration or centrifugation
