Chapter 15, Problem 61A
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Things that make the stability of a colloidal dispersion need to be explained.

Concept Introduction: A colloidal dispersion is made up of solid, liquid, or gas particles in a dispersed phase. Colloidal particles range in size from 1 nm to 1 μm . The commonly known colloidal dispersions are solid-gas, solid-liquid, liquid-liquid, and gas-liquid dispersions.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

There are two ways by which a colloidal dispersion can be stabilized.

  1. By adding a coat of polymer on the surface of colloidal dispersion.
  2. By increasing the charge on the surface

The method by which the coating of polymer is done on the surface is known as steric stabilization. On the other hand, increasing in charge is known as electrostatic stabilization. Both methods can also be combined to stabilize the colloidal dispersion.

Therefore, two methods are steric stabilization and electrostatic stabilization.
