Interpretation: To determine how the Tyndall effect can be used to distinguish between a colloid and a solution.
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 22LC
The Tyndall effect can mostly be observed in the case of colloids, but not in solutions, since dispersed colloidal particles were large enough even to scatter light as opposed to particles in solution.
Explanation of Solution
In the solution, particles are very small and cannot scatter light; thus, the Tyndall effect is not observed.
The Tyndall effect can mostly be observed in the case of colloids, but not in solutions since dispersed colloidal particles were large enough even to scatter light as opposed to particles in solution.
