Chemistry 15.3 Slide 1 of 21
Heterogeneous Aqueous Systems 15.3 • In 1996, American astronaut Shannon Lucid shared a gelatin dessert with her Russian crewmates. Gelatin is a heterogeneous mixture called a colloid. You will learn more about the characteristics of colloids and a related mixture called a suspension.
15.3 Suspensions • Suspensions • What is the difference between a suspension and a solution?
15.3 Suspensions • A suspension is a mixture from which particles settle out upon standing. • A suspension differs from a solution because the particles of a suspension are much larger and do not stay suspended indefinitely.
15.3 Suspensions • Suspensions are heterogenous because at least two substances can be clearly identified.
15.3 Colloids • Colloids • What distinguishes a colloid from a suspension and a solution?
15.3 Colloids • A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture containing particles that range in size from 1 nm to 1000 nm. The particles in a colloid are spread throughout the dispersion medium.
15.3 Colloids • Colloids have particles smaller than those in suspensions and larger than those in solutions.
15.3 Colloids
15.3 Colloids • The Tyndall Effect • The scattering of visible light by colloidal particles is called the Tyndall effect.
15.3 Colloids • Particles in colloids and suspensions reflect or scatter light in all directions. Solutions do not scatter light.
15.3 Colloids • Brownian Motion • The chaotic movement of colloidal particles, which was first observed by the Scottish botanist Robert Brown (1773–1858), is called Brownian motion. • Brownian motion is caused by collisions of the molecules of the dispersion medium with the small, dispersed colloidal particles.
15.3 Colloids • Coagulation • A colloidal system can be destroyed, or coagulated, by the addition of ions having a charge opposite to that of the colloidal particles. • The added ions neutralize the charged colloidal particles. The particles can clump together to form heavier aggregates and precipitate from the dispersion.
15.3 Colloids • Emulsions • An emulsion is a colloidal dispersion of a liquid in a liquid. An emulsifying agent is essential for the formation of an emulsion and for maintaining the emulsion’s stability.
15.3 Colloids • Mayonnaise is heterogeneous mixture of oil and vinegar. Such a mixture would quickly separate without the presence of egg yolk, which is the emulsifying agent.
