  1. Heterogeneous Mixtures Colloids and Suspensions

  2. Solutions • Homogeneous mixtures • Solute and solvent are evenly distributed throughout • Typical particle size: < 1nm • Particles are too small to filter • Solutions do not separate upon standing

  3. Suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures • Examples of suspensions • Clay in water • Muddy water

  4. Suspensions • Heterogeneous mixtures • Particles settle to bottom when undisturbed • Particles can be recovered by filtration • Particle diameters typically 100-1000 nm

  5. Colloids • May be milky or cloudy in appearance • Don’t separate on standing • Can’t recover particles by filtration • Typical particle diameter 1-100 nm

  6. Examples of colloids

  7. Tyndall Effect • Suspensions and colloids scatter light beams, making them visible • Observed when high beams are used in a heavy fog

  8. Tyndall Effect

  9. Colloidal Silver • Suspension of submicroscopic metallic silver particles in a colloidal base. • Long-term use of silver preparations can lead to argyria, a condition in which silver salts deposit in the skin, eyes, and internal organs, and the skin turns ashen-gray. • Amount of silver needed to cause argyria is unknown http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/PhonyAds/silverad.html )

  10. Stan Jones • Former Senate candidate from Montana • Began consuming his own colloidal silver concoction out of fear that Y2K would disrupt antibiotic supply

  11. Group assignment • You are given three beakers containing unknown mixtures. Create a flow chart showing the steps you would follow to determine whether the beakers contain a solution, a suspension, or a colloid.
