LecturePLUS Timberlake Chapter 7 Solutions and Colloids 7.7b and 7.8 Solution Properties and Colloids Solutions Solutions contain small particles (ions or molecules). are transparent. do not separate. cannot be filtered. do not scatter light. Colloids Colloids have medium size particles. cannot be filtered. can be separated by semipermeable membranes. scatter light (Tyndall effect – in which the path of a beam of light through the colloid is visible due to scatter light). Examples of Colloids Examples of colloids include Fog Whipped cream Milk Cheese Blood plasma Pearls Suspensions Suspensions have very large particles. settle out. can be filtered. must be stirred to stay suspended. Examples include blood platelets, muddy water, and Calamine lotion. Solutions, Colloids, and Suspensions Learning Check A mixture that has solute particles that do not settle out, but are too large to pass through a semipermeable membrane is called a 1) solution. 2) colloid. 3) suspension. Solution A mixture that has solute particles that do not settle out, but are too large to pass through a semipermeable membrane is called a 2) colloid. Osmosis In osmosis, water (solvent) flows from the lower solute concentration into the higher solute concentration. the level of the solution with the higher concentration rises. the concentrations of the two solutions become equal with time. Osmosis Suppose a semipermeable membrane separates a 4% starch solution from a 10% starch solution. Starch is a colloid and cannot pass through the membrane, but water can. What happens? semipermeable membrane Water Flow Equalizes The 10% starch solution is diluted by the flow of water out of the 4% and its volume increases. The 4% solution loses water and its volume decreases. Eventually, the water flow between the two becomes equal. Osmotic Pressure Osmotic pressure is produced by the solute particles dissolv
