What is a colloidal solution? How do true solutions, colloidal solutions and
suspensions differ with one another in respect to (a) visibility and (b) settling of
particles?
Answers
Answer:
A mixture in which one substance is divided into minute particles (called colloidal particles) and dispersed throughout a second substance. ... The mixture is also called a colloidal solution, colloidal system, or colloidal dispersion.
In the true solutions particles are invisible through the naked eye, while the particles in the colloidal solution are visible through the electron microscope, but not through naked eye and the particles in the suspension are visible through naked eyes as well as under electron microscope
Colloidal solutions are the type of mixture, where the solute (tiny particles or colloids) is uniformly distributed in the solvent (liquid phase). The suspension is the mixture, where the solute does not get dissolved, rather get suspended in the liquid and float freely in the medium.
