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 :
*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.
Observation Table :-
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 :-
