Question

what is the difference between dispersed phase and dispersing medium...?

Answer 1

It is the phase in which the dispersed phase is distributed. It can be in any state of matter: solid, liquid or gas. It is also called the external phase because the dispersed phase is inside thedispersion medium. Dispersed Phase:Dispersed phase is one of the twophases in a colloid.

Answer 2

A dispersion is a system in which particles of one phase are dispersed throughout a medium that is in a different phase. Therefore a dispersion is a two-phased system. It is composed of a dispersion medium and a dispersed phase. Dispersion medium is a continuous medium in which the dispersed phase is distributed throughout. Dispersed phase is the phase that is composed of particles that are distributed through another phase. The main difference between dispersed phase and dispersed medium is that dispersed phase is a discontinuous phase whereas dispersion medium is a continuous phase.

Dispersed phase is one of the two phases in a colliod. The dispersed phase is a discontinuous phase that is distributed throughout the dispersion medium. The dispersed phase is composed of particles that have diameters around 1-100 nm.

There can be three types of particles in the dispersed phase. According to these particles, the colloids can be categorized into three groups as,

Multi-molecular colloidsMacro-molecular colloidsAssociated colloids (mis-cells)
 Dispersion medium is the continuous phase of a colloid. It is the phase in which the dispersed phase is distributed. It can be in any state of matter: solid, liquid or gas. It is also called the external phase because the dispersed phase is inside the dispersion medium.Dispersed Phase: Dispersed phase is one of the two phases in a colloid.

Dispersion Medium: Dispersion medium is the continuous phase of a colloid.
