A colloid is a mixture in which one substance is divided into minute particles (called colloidal particles) and dispersed throughout a second substance. The mixture they form is called a colloidal dispersion. A colloidal dispersion consists of colloids in a dispersing medium. It doesn't have to be liquid.

If a liquid with large particles is shaken until all particles are dissolved what is the new substance?

There is no new substance; it is just mixed up and all the atoms are spread out so you can't see the individual particles.


Is 1 mole of particles a very large number of particles or a very small number?

1 mole of representative particles of a substance is a very large number. It represents 6.02294x1023 particles.


Is it true that a solute with small particles dissolve more quickly than one with large particles?

In general, yes; the same amount of mass will probably dissolve more slowly if divided into a few large particles than into many small particles. This is because dissolution takes place at the surface, and small particles have a higher surface area to volume ratio than large particles (assuming the particles are the same shape).


What is a mixture in which some of the particles will settle out?

Mixtures in which some of the particles settle out are called suspensions. An example of a mixture is dirt mixed with a large amount of water. On the other hand, mixtures in which the particles do not settle out are called colloids.


What is the ability so something to dissolve in water called?

The ability is hydrogen bonds, which form on the fly more easily than covalent or ionic bonds. Other chemicals that readily create hydrogen bonds are gases at room temperature, ammonia and hydrogen fluoride, or are unstable, hydrazine. Water is the only inorganic (not carbon based) liquid solvent that occurs naturally in large quantity. Hydrogen bonding also holds the double strands of DNA together.

The "solute" is the substance you are trying to dissolve. The solvent is the substance you are trying to dissolve it in.

Which will dissolve faster a substance with little surface area or the one with a large surface area?

One with a large surface area because the solvent will be able to dissolve more solute simultaneously.

How does a particular size affect a soluble solid?

The smaller the particles, the more quickly and easily they dissolve. A powdered solute will dissolve faster than a large piece of the same solute.

How do the properties of water account for the large number of substances that dissolve in water?

Water is a polar substance, which means that any other polar substances will dissolve in it. The opposite is mineral turpentine which is non-polar so all non-polar substances dissolve in it.
