Experiment 02

Aim
To prepare:
( A ) a true solution of common salt,
sugar and alum in water.
( B ) a suspension of soil, chalk
powder and fine sand in water.
( C ) a colloidal solution of starch in
water and egg albumin in water.
* And distinguish between these on
the basis of:
I) transparency
II) filtration criterion
III) stability

Materials Required :-
Beakers (250 mL), an iron stand, a glass rod, bunsen burner, test tube stand, three funnels,
three tripod stands, filter papers, a small torch and China dish.

Chemicals Required :-
Common salt, sugar crystals, alum powder, chalk powder, fine sand, raw egg, milk, fine soil from
garden and distilled water.

Procedure :

( A ) To prepare a true solution of common salt, sugar and alum in water.


1. True solution of common salt :
Take a clean and dry beaker, pour 100 mL of distilled water in it and add dry common salt in it.
Stir the content with a glass rod. Common salt dissolves completely to form a true solution.
2. True solution of sugar :
Take a clean and dry beaker and add 100 mL of distilled water in it, pour a few sugar crystals in
it and stir the content with a glass rod. The sugar dissolves in water to form a true solution.
3. True solution of alum :
Take a clean and dry beaker, add 100 mL of distilled water in it and add a pinch of alum powder,
stir with a glass rod. The alum dissolves in water to form a true solution.
( B ) To prepare a suspension of soil, chalk powder and fine sand in water :
1. Suspension of sand in water :
Take 100 mL of distilled water in a beaker, add 10 g of fine sand in it. Stir well using a glass rod.
Allow it to stand for some time.
(It does not dissolve in water)
2. Suspension of chalk powder in water :
Take 100 mL of distilled water in a beaker, add 10 g of chalk powder in it. Stir well.
(chalk + water forms a suspension)
3. Suspension of soil in water :
Take 100 mL of distilled water in a beaker and 10 g of garden soil to it. Stir the mixture with a
glass rod. Allow it to stand for sometime.
(Soil does not dissolve in water but forms a suspension)
( C ) To prepare colloidal solutions of starch and egg albumin in water :
1. Colloidal solution of starch in water :
Take about 1 g of starch in a china dish, pour 10 mL of distilled water in the dish and stir the
mixture. Now take 90 mL of hot, boiling water.
(Heat the water in beaker using Bunsen burner)
Stir the contents of the china dish continuously and pour the contents in the boiling water. Allow
the contents to cool.
(The starch + water solution is colloidal in nature.)
2. Colloidal solution of egg albumin in water :
Take 10 ml of water in a beaker. Break an egg and discard the egg shells. Separate the white
portion of egg from the yellow part. Add a very small quantity of egg albumin to it. Stir the
contents thoroughly with the help of a glass rod. Then add 90 mL of distilled water with
continuous stirring and a few drops of dil. acid (dil. HCL, dil.H2S04).
(Egg albumin + water solution is colloidal in nature.)

*To distinguish the above formed solutions on the basis of transparency, filtration
criterion and stability :

i. Transparency:
Take 3 test tubes with a colloid, suspension and true solution in each respectively. Paste a white
paper with a tick mark on one side of each test tube. Look at the tick mark through the contents
of the three test tubes from the other side. Check for the transparency of the tick mark.
Record your observations.

ii. Filtration Criterion:


Take 3 test tubes with a colloid, suspension and true solution in each respectively.
Take 3 tripod stands, place a funnel over each stand. Fix the filter paper in the funnel and check
for the filtration criterion.Record your observations.

iii. Stability Criterion:


Take 3 test tubes with a colloid, suspension and true solution in each respectively. Shake all the
test tubes and keep them in the test tube stand, allow it to stand for 5 minutes.
Record your observations.

are stable.

Result :-

i. True solutions are transparent. They pass through filter paper leaving no residue on the filter
paper. And are stable.
ii. Colloidal solutions are translucent. They pass through filter paper leaving no residue on the
filter paper. And are stable.
iii. Suspensions are opaque. They do not pass through filter paper. And are unstable.

Precautions :-

1. Use a test tube holder for heating/boiling of water.


2. Do not waste the chemicals and distilled water. Use it wisely.
3. Always stir the contents in the test tube nicely and gently.
4. Use only distilled water to make solutions.
