Question

How can you tell a solution from a colloid?

Expert Solution

Step 1

A solution is a mixture of solute and solvent. In solution, the concentration of solute is less than the concentration of solvent. The concentration of a solution is expressed in terms of molarity, molality, and normality.

Step 2

A colloidal solution is different from a homogeneous solution in a number of ways. Some of the physical properties shown by the colloidal solution are not observed in the homogeneous solution. This is due to the fact that the particle size of the colloidal solution is much larger than the particle size of the homogeneous solution.
