Chapter 15.3, Problem 23LC
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To explain how the presence of Brownian motion distinguishes between a solution and a colloid.

Concept Introduction: A colloid is a mixture in which a component made up of insoluble particles that are dispersed at a microscopic scale is suspended within another component.

Answer to Problem 23LC

Yes, the presence of Brownian motion distinguishes between a solution and a colloid.

Explanation of Solution

Fluid particles are always moving as a result of the Brownian motion. This keeps the particles from settling, which contributes to the stability of the colloidal sol. With the aid of such a motion, it can separate a genuine sol from a colloid.

Brownian motions might not be visible in solutions because the particles there are too tiny to be detected under a light microscope. However, colloids exhibit Brownian motion because their particles can be big and visible under a light microscope.
