A. In my 'layman' understanding, particles are called colloids because they are just small enough to be in suspension; not too heavy to fall out of suspension. I take colloidal quartz, i.e. silica, to strengthen my bones, connective tissue, hair and nails. I believe it is made the same way colloidal silver is made, by electrically charging a larger mass of the substance placed in water - in the case of silica, a quartz rock - so that it sheds off small enough particles of itself into the water which equally distribute in suspension with the water molecules.

A. A solution will have solute completely disolved in solvent; in a colloid the susbstance doesn't properly dissolve and small particles will remain suspended in the solvent; in a suspension the particles also don't dissolve but will eventually settle and are larger than in a colloid

A. Lyophilic colloid - The colloidal particles are more attracted to the dispersing medium than to each other. The effect: This prevents the colloidal particles from coagulating (clumping) together to form large particles which will settle out.

A. a suspension is a liquid and a solid in which the solid is in suspension in the liquid. a good example is something like dirt and water. the dirt is a solid and it is suspended in the water. a colloid is a misture of two liquids. an example is water and alcohol. the alcohol is slightly soluble in water and so they make a colloid.

A. 1. Compounds. Hexane, carbon dioxide, water 2. elements. hydrogen, nickel, copper 3. mixtures include all solutions, suspensions and colloids. 4. Solutions are salt water, sugar dissolved in water. 5. Suspensions are muddy water, Ocean water. Anything that has the particles settle on the bottom. The particles in suspensions are larger than 10^-7 meters 6. Colloids are like milk, toothpaste, jelly, blood. The particles do not settle on the bottom and you cannot see them without a microscope. They are in between 10^-9 and 10^-7 meters size you should have learned this in school. You were probably goofing off in class when the teacher was talking.

A. Solution is a molecular mix of components. Example is salt or vinegar in water. Suspension (or dispersion) is the presence of solute (colloidal particles) into a solvant. Milk is an example. Mayonnaise is another example (colloids are oil droplets here). Colloidal particles do not go under gravity and undergo thermal agitation. Another kind of suspension is smoke in the air.

The particulate matter so dispersed. 2. Physiology. The gelatinous product of the thyroid gland, consisting mainly of thyroglobulin, which serves as the precursor and storage form of thyroid hormone. 3. Pathology. Gelatinous material resulting from colloid degeneration in diseased tissue. Particles (the disperse phase) suspended in a second medium (the dispersion medium); can be solid, liquid, or gas suspended in a solid, liquid, or gas.

Asked by nutashuh. - Sun Sep 30 16:41:49 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A suspension is particles dispersed in a liquid, which will remain stable for a short time, but will separate on standing. The particles can be filtered out. A colloid is very fine particles dispersed in a liquid in such a way that they are stable and do not settle out, nor can they easily be filtered out. Suspension examples: Milk of magnesia (yuk), calamine lotion - think of anything powdery in a liquid that you have to shake before use. Colloid examples: White paint (titanium dioxide particles); Milk.

A. Colloidal is nothing more than a liquid mixed with solids or another liquid that are suspended, and will not settle or separate (to the bottom) due to the effect of gravity. Blood is made up of several components (as I am sure you know) that due not separate or settle due to gravity. e.g. Mayonnaise is a colloidal. Water and oil mixed but yet do not separate.

I was hoping someone could briefly explain the filtration and reabsorption process when dealing with capillary
Q. This is part of capillary exchange (bulk flow: filtration and reabsorption) I know there is two ends the arterial end and venous end, however there is also a formula with many different variables that plays a role in the dynamics of capillary exchange. For example: Blood hydrostatic pressure, Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure, Blood colloid osmotic pressure, Interstitial fluid osmotic pressure, and finally Net filtration pressure? Anyone know anything about this...
Asked by openminded1995 - Sat Mar 1 15:34:11 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You're talking about the Starling equation. It's a relationship between the pressures tending towards filtration on the arterial end (oncotic and hydrostatic) and the pressures tending towards resorption on the venous end (same pressures, different values) Here's the wiki, it explains it fairly well. (Edit--YA not allowing links at the moment, but you can go to wikipedia and type in "Starling Equation")

A. Colloids A colloid is a type of mixture intermediate between a homogeneous mixture (also called a solution) and a heterogeneous mixture with properties also intermediate between the two. The particles in a colloid can be solid, liquid or bubbles of gas. The medium that they are suspended in can be a solid, liquid or gas (although gas colloids cannot be suspended in gas). Suspensions A suspension is a mixture between two substances, one of which is finely divided and dispersed in the other. Common suspensions include sand in water, dust in air, and droplets of oil in air. Particles in a suspension are larger than those in a solutions; they are visible under a microscope and can often be seen with the naked eye. Particles in a… [cont.]

Asked by moonhee - Sun Jun 10 22:02:44 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There is no specific density for "solids" or "liquids" in general. Solids are the densest of the three and have the slowest molecular movement. Liquids are not quite as dense as solids and also have faster molecular movement. Gases are the least dense of the three and have the fastest molecular movement. Basically, the greater an object's density, the slower the speed of its molecules. (ex- you heat water, water molecules gain energy and move faster then become steam which is a gas. Gas is less dense than liquid). Go on wikipedia and look up the rest. You can easily find this information online.
