PROCEDURES:
A. COLLOIDS:
Colloidal Solutions are those in which the Diameter of the Dispersed Phase is larger than 1
millimicron but not exceeding 100 millimicra. They are classified as Emulsoids and Suspensoids.
Emulsoids have affinity for Solvent. It forms Gel when brought in contact with water. While
Suspensoids have no Affinity for Water, so they are considered As Lyophobic.
1. Preparation of an Emulsoid:
a. Prepare 5% gelatin solution by Boiling.
b. Cool under Tap Water and Note what is formed.
c. Boil again and observe the Difference in its texture when HOT and when it is COLD.
2. Preparation of a Suspensoid:
a. Boil 100 mL of Water.
b. Remove from the Flame and add 1 mL of Saturated Ferric Chloride Solution.
c. Note what is formed.

3. Properties of Emulsoids and Suspensoids:
3.1 FOAM FORMATION:
a. Shake 10 mL of 5% gelatin vigorously with air.
b. Allow the tube to stand and note the result after 15 minutes.
c. Shake 10 mL of ferric Hydroxide in the same way.
d. Allow to stand and Note the result after 15 minutes.
e. Compare the result obtained with the Solutions.
3.3 REVERSIBILITY:

f.
Place 5 mL of Ferric Hydroxide in a test tube and add 1 mL of 10% MgSO Solution.
Allow to Stand for 30 Minutes.
In another Test Tube, place 5 mL 5% gelatin solution and add 1 mL of 10% MgSO.
If no Precipitate forms, add Solid MgSO until saturated.
Decant the Supernatant Liquid from each of the 2 tubes.
Add an Excess of Water and note which Colloid is reversible. ____________________________

4. Qualitative Determination of the Sign of the Charge on Colloidal Particles by Capillary Analysis:
Filter Paper is negatively charged against water. The Ascent of Colloids to different heights on
Strips of Filter Paper is due to the Difference in their Electrical Charge.
Negatively charged Colloids rise with their Dispersion medium at a Slower Rate than Water.
Positively charged colloids are neutralized at the Point where the Filter Paper touches the surface of
the Solution and only the Dispersion Medium will ascend by Capillary attraction.
4.1 Secure 2-beakers of the Same Size.
4.2 Place 25mL of 0.1% Acid Fuchsin in One, and the Same Volume of 0.1% Methylene Blue on the
Other.
4.3 Suspend a Strip of Filter Paper (15x5 cm.) from a Horizontal Glass Rod, top of the Beaker.
4.4 Allow 2 cm of the Filter to Soak in the Solution.
4.5 Record RESULTS observed. _________________________________________________________
B. SUSPENSIONS:
Suspensoid Particles in water carry electrical Charges and are precipitated by Ions that Carry
charges of opposite Sign but not ions that carry charges of the same sign.
1. Place 5 mL of 1% Ferric Hydroxide in a test tube.
2. Add Normal Saline Solution a Drop at a time counting the number of drop and shaking after each
addition until a permanent precipitate is formed.

E. VISCOSITY:
1. Fill a Clean 10 mL Pipette with Distilled water.
2. Hold it Vertically at Eye Level and allow the contents to drain, timing up with the second hand of
watch, the time required to empty it.
3. Repeat using Ferric Hydroxide Solution.
4. Carefully note the time required to empty the pipette. Compare the result. Obtained for both
solutions.
5. Formulate a Theory to Explain the differences in Viscosities. ____________________________
