Surface chemistry Lecture-6
Purification of colloidal solutions
Flocullation / aggregation of colloidal particles
$\Delta$ G = 2$\sigma$A
Properties of colloidal solutions
AgI/$I^-$ colloidal partical KI or $AgNO_3$
AgI $As^+$
$\psi^oe^{-hz}$
Double layer
Similar to a capacitor
Diffuse double layer
With ranging electrolyte
$[c]_{ii}$ > $[c]_i$
Critical coagulation concentrations
It is measured in $ \hspace{1 mm} mmol \hspace{1 mm} dm^{-3}$
Hardy - Schulze “rule”
Physical properties of colloids
Optical properties - Tyndall effect
Diffusion properties - Brownian motion
