COLLOIDAL STATE :When water soluble substances like sodium chloride, copper sulphate, sugar etc., are put into water theydissolve and a homogeneous solution is obtained. The particles of the solute are not visible and their size ismolecular size. Such mixtures are called molecular solutions or true solutions.Now suppose we take muddy river water or an insoluble substance like lead sulphate or calcium sulphate is putinto water. The particles of the solutes are visible even with the naked eye because their size is large. Onkeeping for some time, particles settle down. These mixtures are called suspension.In between these two extremes, there are particles which are bigger than molecules but are too small to be seeneven by a microscope. The colloidal state can thus be regarded as the intermediate state between moleculesand particles of a coarse suspension.Thomas graham (1861) classified substances into two categories on the basis of their rates of diffusion-Crystalloids : They diffuse rapidly in solution and can rapidly pass through animal or vegetablemembranes, e.g. urea, sugar, salts and other crystalline substances.Colloids : They diffuse very slowly in solution and can not pass through animal or vegetable membranes,e.g. starch, gelatin, silicic acid, proteins etc. Since this class of substances generally exist in amorphousor gelatinous condition and hence the name colloid meaning \"glue form\".Note: Actually every substance irrespective of its nature can be crystalloid or colloid under suitable conditions. Forexample:(i)NaCl though a crystalloid in water behaves like a colloid in benzene.(ii)Soap is a colloid in water, while it behaves like a crystalloid in benzene.Therefore colloidal state now a days may be defined as following \"A substance is said to be in the colloidal state,when it is dispersed in another medium in the form of very small particles having diameter between10 to 10 cm (100 m to 1 m ).–4–7M olecula rs iz e in tru es olu tionC olloida l pa r ticle s iz eC oa rs es u s pens ionpa r ticle s iz e10 to 10 cm–7–810 to 10 cm–5–710 to 10 cm–3–5COLLOIDAL SOLUTIONS :They considered as a heterogeneous system consisting of the following three essential components:(i)A dispersed phase: It is also known as discontinuous or inner phase. It consists of discrete particlessignificantly larger than ordinary molecules and in this small particles of solute is diffused in solvent.(ii)A dispersion medium or continuous phase or the outer phase : It is the medium in whichdispersed phase is present. This consists of continuously interlinked molecules.(iii)A stabilising agent: This is a substance which tends to keep the colloidal particles apart. Some colloidsare self stabilizers.Dispersed phase + Dispersion medium = Dispersion system (Colloidal solution)Each of the two phases constituting a colloidal system may be a gas, a liquid or a solid. For example, in milk, thefat globules are dispersed in water. Hence fat globules form a dispersed phase and water is the dispersion medium.Sol : If dispersion of a solid in a liquid, solid or gaseous medium, the resulting solution is called sol.Colloidal Solution : If dispersion of a solid (dispersed phase) in a liquid (dispersion medium), theresulting solution is called colloidal solution.Solid aerosol: The dispersion of a solid (dispersed phase) in a gas( dispersion medium).Liquid aerosol : If the dispersed phase is a liquid and the dispersion medium is a gas, the resulting solis called a liquid aerosol.Emulsion : When a liquid is dispersed in another liquid the resulting system is called an emulsion.COLLOIDAL STATE & SURFACE CHEMISTRY
Gel : If colloidal system becomes fairly rigid, it is termed as a gel.CLASSIFICATION OF COLLOIDS :There are a number of basis for the classification of colloids.( i )Depending upon the nature of the dispersed phase and that of dispersion medium the colloidal solutions aredivided into the following eight categories:S.No.D is pers ed Pha s eD is pers ionMediumNa m eExa m ple1SolidSolidSolid solColoured glass,gems, alloys2SolidLiquidSolPaints, inks,white of eggsmud3SolidGasAerosolSmoke, dust4LiquidSolidGelCurds,pudding,cheese, jellies5LiquidLiquidEmulsionMilk, Cream, Butter',Oil in water6LiquidGasLiquid AerosolClouds, Mist,fog(water in air)7GasSolidSolid foamCake, bread, lava,pumice stone8GasLiquidFoamSoap lather,froth on beer, whippedcreamSince the two gases are completely miscible with each other, they always form a true solution.(ii)Depending upon the appearance of colloids :On this basis colloids are divided into the following two main categories.( a )Sol : When a colloidal solution appears as fluids, it is termed as sol. Sols are named after dispersionmedium. For example, when dispersion medium is water, they are called hydrosols when the dispersionmedium is alcohol they are called alcosols and so on.( b )Gels : When a colloid has a solid-like appearance, it is termed as gel. The rigidity of gel varies fromsubstance to substance.(iii)Depending upon the interaction of the two phases.According to Perrin and Freundlich, colloids may be classified into lyophobic and lyophilic.( a )Lyphobic or solvent-hating : When the dispersed phase has less affinity for the dispersion medium,the colloids are termed as lyophobic. But when the dispersion medium is water, they are given the namehydrophobic. Substances like metals, etc. which have particles of size bigger than the colloidal particlesor NaCl which has particles of size smaller than the colloidal size, fall in this category. Such substancesare brought into colloidal state with difficulty.( b )Lyophilic or solvent loving : When dispersed phase has a greater affinity for the dispersion medium,the colloids are termed as lyophilic and when the dispersion medium is water, they are given the namehydrophilic. They are also called natural colloids, substances like proteins, starch and rubber etc. aregrouped under this category.
(i v)Depending upon the electrical charge on the dispersed phase :On this basis the colloids may be divided into :( a )Positive Colloids :The dispersed phase carries the positive charge. The particles of Fe(OH) sol in water are positively3charged. Examples of this type are also methylene blue and TiO sols.2( b )Negative Colloids :This dispersed phase carries the negative charge. For example the particles of As S sol in water are23negatively charged. The other examples are copper or gold sol and certain dye-stuffs like eosin, congored etc.( v )Depending on the structure of colloid particles :According to Lumiere and others, colloids can also be classified into molecular and micellar colloids. The particlesof molecular colloids are single macromolecules and their structure is similar to that of small molecules. The particlesof micellar colloids are aggregates of many molecules or groups of atoms which are held together by cohesive or vander Waal's forces. The examples of molecular colloids are albumin, silicons, rubber etc. while that of micellar colloidsor sulphur, gold, soap detergents etc.( a )Multimolecular colloids :The multimolecular colloidal particles consists of aggregate of atoms of small molecules with diameterless than 10 m or 1 nm. For example, a sol. of gold contains particles of various sizes having several–9atoms. A sol.of sulphur consists of particles containing a thousand or so S molecules. These particles2are hold together by vandel Waal's forces. These are usually lyophobic sols.( b )Macromolecular colloids :The macromolecular colloidal particles themselves are large molecules. They have very high molecularweights varrying from thousand to millions. These substances are generally polymers. Naturally occurringmacromolecules are such as starch, cellulose and proteins. Artificial macromolecules are such aspolyethylene, nylon, polysyrene, dacron, synthetic rubber, plastics, etc. The size of these molecules arecomparable to those of colloidal particles and therefore, their dispersion known as macromolecularcolloids. Their dispersion also resemble true solutions in some respect.( c )The associated colloids or miscelles :These colloids behave as normal electrolytes at low concentrations but colloids at higher concentrations.This is because at higher concentrations, they form aggregated (associated) particles called miscelles.Soap and synthetic detergents are examples of associated colloids. They furnish ions which may havecolloidal dimensions.RCOONa RCOO + Na–+Sod. Stearate soap (R = C H )1735The long-chain RCOO ions associates or aggregate at higher concentrations and form miscelles and–behave as colloids. They may contains 100 or more molecules.Sodium stearate C H COONa is an example of an associated colloid. In what it gives Na and sterate,1735+C H COO ions. These ions associate to form miscelles of colloidal size.1735–Note : Sometimes the names Emulsoids and Suspensoids are also used for hydrophilic and hydrophobic colloids respectively.
In general lyophilic sols are more stable than lyophobic sols. The additional stability is due to the presence of anenvelop of the solvent (say water) around the colloidal particle. The process is known as hydration. To coagulatea hydrophilic sol we have to add a dehydrating agent in addition to an electrolyte. Main points of differencesbetween the two types are given in the table:S.No.PropertyLyophilic (Intrins ic s ol.)Lyophobhic (extrins ic s ol.)1PreparationThey are easy to prepare. Only contact with the dispersion medium is needed to stabilise themThey are difficult to prepare. Special methods are used. Addition ofstabilizers is essential for theirstability.2Size of particlesThe particles are just bigger moleculesThe particles are aggregates ofthousands of molecules.3NatureReversible; once precipitated easily pass back into the colloidal state by contact withdispersion mediumIrreversible, once precipitated does not easily pass intocolloidal state 4ConductivityWith lyophilic salts high conductivitiescan generally be measuredOwing to their sensitivity in electrolytes the conductivity oflyophobic sol can rarely bemeasured over a considerablerange of concentration5Tyndall effectLess distinctMore distinct6ViscosityHigher than that of waterAlmost same as that of water7Surface TensionLower than that of waterAlmost same as that of water8HydrationParticles are heavily hydratedParticles are poorly hydrated9StabilityVery stable, coagulated withdifficultyLess stable, coagulated easily1 0ChargeDepends on the pH of the medium.

These are the lyophilic colloids. For example, sols of eggalbumin or glycogen can be prepared by dissolving 1-2 g of the finely ground substance in 100 mL of distilledwater and then allowing it to stand for two hours after constant stirring. After two hours, the solutions arefiltered.Gelatin may be regarded as a typical lyophilic linear colloid. If two grams of gelatin are placed in distilled waterand kept there for several hours, it has been observed that unlike egg albumin and glycogen, gelatin does notdissolve in cold water although it does swell. The swellen gelatin may be dissolved by heating with water at80- 90°C. If two grams of gelatin are dissolved in 400 mL of distilled water, a clear sol. is obtained on cooling.Preparation of lyophobic sols: Such sols can be prepared by the two general ways.
(i) By dispersion of coarse particles (Dispersion method). Here we start with bigger particles and break themdown to the colloidal size.(ii) By inducing molecular particles to form large aggregates (condensation method). Here we start with particlesof molecular dimensions and condense them to the colloidal dimensions.DISPERSION METHODS :( a )Mechanical dispersion : Here the substance is first finely powdered and a coarse suspension is made byshaking the powdered substance with the dispersion medium. This suspension is then passed through a colloidmill consisting of two discs, moving in opposite directions at a very high speed (fig.I) The particles of thesuspension are subjected to a great shearing force and break down to the colloidal dimension. The spacebetween the two discs controls the size of the colloidal particles to be obtained. Rubber, ink, paints and varnishesare prepared by this method.A ball mill shown in fig. (II) has been employed to get a colloidal solution from a coarse suspension. Due to ahigh speed rotation of the mill the coarse ball-like particles roll over one another and drop down at a certainposition of the mill, thereby grinding the preliminary wetted mixture. This gives rise to particles of size 6 Å. Ifsome quantity of the dispersion medium is added, it becomes possible to get a colloidal solution.Fig-IFig-II A colloid ball mill( b )Electrical Dispersion- Bredig's arc methods :This is commonly used method for preparing the colloidal solutions of metals. An electric arc is struck betweentwo metallic rods kept under the liquid (dispersion medium). A current of 10 amperes and a voltage of100 to 300 volts is generally employed. The liquid is kept cooled by surrounding it with a cooling mixture. Tinyparticles of the metal break away from the roads and disperse in the liquid. Gold, platinum, silver, copper andsuch other metals can thus be obtained in the colloidal form. (Fig.III)Svedberg modified this method and prepared sols in non-aqueous media like pentane, diethyl ether, by strikingan arc with high frequency alternating current which greatly diminishes the decomposition of the liquid (fig.IV)Svedberg has shown that the electrical methods are suitable not only for preparing the hydro sols of metals likegold, silver, platinum etc., but also for sols of strongly electropositive metals, such as sodium in benzene.Fig-IIIIceCondenserInflammable liquidFig-IV Svedberg's method of preparing metals solsInduction coilMetal in inflammable liquids
(c)Peptization : The process of bringing a precipitated substance back into the colloids state is known as peptization.It is carried out by the addition of an electrolyte. The electrolyte added is termed as peptising or dispersingagent. It involves the adsorption of a suitable ion supplied by the electrolyte added by the particles of theprecipitate. Peptisation may be carried out by the following ways :(i)By electrolyte : Freshly prepared precipitate of Fe(OH) can be changed into colloidal state when precipitate3is treated with a small amount of FeCl solution. The sol thus obtained is positively charged due to the3preferential adsorption of Fe ions (from FeCl ) on sol particles of Fe(OH) as [Fe (OH) ]Fe .+++333+++It should be noted that only freshly prepared precipitates can be peptized.(ii) By washing a precipitate : Peptization sometimes can be brought about by repeated washings of aprecipitate. For example if the precipitate of BaSO is washed continuously, a state is reached when the4washings carry some of the particles of the substances in the form of colloidal solution.Chemical Methods : All chemical changes giving rise to insoluble reaction products can be used for theformation of sols, particularly when suitable, stabilizers are also present.( a ) Oxidation : Sols of some non-metals are obtained by oxidation. For example. Sulphur is obtained incolloidal form by passing H S gas through bromine water of dil. HNO solution.23H S + Br 22 2 HBr + S ColloidalSimilarly, sol. of iodine is obtained by oxidising hydriodic acid with iodic acid as HIO +5HI33 H O+3I ,22It can be made stable by adding a small amount of gelatin.( b ) Reduction : Sols of some metals are obtained by the reduction of their salts. Gold sols are made byreduction of HAuCl solution with reducing agents like tannic acid, HCHO, H O , phosphorus, hydrazine422etc. Carey Lec's silver sole is obtained by reducing solution of AgNO containing alkaline dextrin as stabilizer3with variety of reducing agents. Stabilised colloidal suspension of graphite in water is known as aquadagand one in oil is known as oildag.( c ) Hydrolysis : This method is generally employed for the preparation of sols of number of a hydroxidesand hydrous oxides. Fe(OH) and Al(OH) sols are obtained by boiling solution of the corresponding33chlorides.FeCl + 3 HOH 3 Fe(OH) + 3 HCl3A beautiful red sol of ferric hydroxide is prepared by boiling ferric acetate in a beaker having distilled water(500 mL).(CH COO) Fe + 3H O 332 Fe(OH) + 3CH COOH33The excess of ferric acetate may be removed by electrodialysis because its presence renders the sol unstable.Organic esters of silicon, such as ethyl silicate, will hydrolize in water to form colloidal silicic acid, Si(OH)4and alcohol.( d ) Double decomposition : This is the usual way of forming sols of insoluble salts. If the solutions containingthe component ions of an insoluble substance are mixed, a precipitate will result. If the substance has lowsolubility, the precipitate will be colloidal. Colloidal sol of prussian blue may be prepared by mixing verydilute solutions of FeCl and K Fe(CN) .3463K Fe(CN) + 4 FeCl 463 Fe [Fe(CN) ] + 12 KCl46 3Sols of arsenius sulphide and mercuric sulphide are obtained by passing H S into the saturated solutions of2corresponding soluble salts of their oxides,As O + 3H S 232 As S + 3H O232Hg (CN) + H S 22 HgS + 2 HCN
( e ) Oxidation-reduction methods : Many colloidal sols are prepared by oxidation- reduction reactions. Anexample of this method is the preparation of the colloidal molybdenic oxide which may be prepared by thereduction of ammonium molybdate with hydrogen sulphide. The sol of hydrated MnO can be prepared by2the reduction of 0.01 M KMnO with ammonia. This sol can be made stabilize by adding a definite4quantity of gelatin.PURIFICATION OF SOLS:Excessive quantities of electrolytes and some other soluble impurities remain in a sol as a result of the methodselected for preparation, particularly in chemical condensation methods.( i )Dialysis : This method is based on the fact that colloidal particles are retained by animal membrane or aparchment paper while electrolytes pass through them. The sol is taken in a parchment or cellophane bag,which itself is placed in running water in a trough. Gradually the soluble impurities diffuxe out leaving apure sol behind. Dialysis is a slow process and it takes several hours and sometimes even days for completepurification.Water(b) ElectrodialysisUpperpart of abottle+––+WaterWatermembrane(a) DialysisImpure colloidal solution(ii) Electrodialysis : Dialysis can be fastened by applying an electric field if the substance in true solution isan electrolyte. This process is then called electrodialysis. By means of electrodialysis it is possible to get acolloid in pure state in short time, although the electric current does not affect non-conducting impuritiessuch as alcohol, sugar, etc.+–Water outletsWater inletsWaterSolutionWater(iii) Ultra filtration : This is a method not only for purification of the sol but also for concentrating the sol.The pores of the ordinary filter paper are large enough (1030 m ) for the colloidal particles (203 m ) topass through. But if the pores are made smaller the colloidal particles may be retained on the filter paper.This process is known as ultra filtration.(i v) Electro decantation : This is a method not only for purification of the sol but also for concentrating thesol. If electrodialysis is carried out without stirring the sol, the lower layer becomes more concentratedwhereas the top layer becomes dilute. This process is known as electro decantation and was introduced byPauli.
(v) Ultracentrifuging : The colloidal particles share the motion of the molecules of the dispersion mediumand are in a state of continuous zigzag motion, called Browninan movement. Sol particles are preventedfrom setting by this continuous haphazard zigzag motion. The sol is kept in a high speed centrifugingmachine revolving at a very high speed (about 15,00 revolutions per minute) so that the colloidal particlessettle quickly, the slim can be suspended in water so as to get a sol.PROPERTIES OF COLLOIDS:General properties of colloids may be studied under several heads.( i )Heterogeneous nature : Colloidal solutions are heterogeneous in nature consisting of two distinct phasesviz. the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium. Experiments like dialysis, ultrafiltration and ultracentrifuging,clearly indicate the heterogeneous character of colloidal system.(ii)Non- settling nature : Colloidal solutions are quite stable. The suspended colloidal particles remain suspendedin the dispersion medium indefinitely. In other words there is no effect of gravity on the colloidal particles.(iii)Filtrability : Colloidal particles readily pass through ordinary filter papers. It is because the size of the pores ofthe filter paper is larger than that of the colloidal particles.(i v)Size of the particles of the dispersed phase : Colloidal dispersions generally range in particle size from 1m to 1 in diameter. The properties which distinguish them from true solution are mainly due to their largesize.( v )Diffusibility : Colloidal suspensions unlike true solutions do not readily diffuse through fine membranes andhave a little power of diffusion. This is due to the large size of the colloidal particles as compared to ordinarysolute particles.(v i)Colour : The colour of the sol is not always the same as the colour of the substance in the bulk. The colour ofthe colloidal solution changes as the size and shape of the particles change. It may exhibit different colourswhen seen by reflected and transmitted light. For example diluted milk gives a bluish tinge in reflected light andreddish tinges in transmitted light.(vii)Shape of the colloidal particles : Different sol particles have different shapes, for example, red gold sol,silver sol, platinum sol. As S sol has spherical particles whereas Fe(OH) sol and blue gold sol have disc or233platelet like particles. Rod-like particles appear in V O sol. tungstic acid sol, etc.25(viii) Visibility : Most of the sols appear to be true solutions with a naked eye, but the colloidal particle can be seenthrough an ultramicroscope.(ix)Colligative properties : Sol particles because of their free suspensions amongst the molecules of the medium,share kinetic energy with them in the same manner as molecules of regular solutes do. This gives rise tocolligative properties like osmotic pressure lowering, depression of freezing point and elevation of boilingpoint. Of these, the osmotic pressure alone has measurable values and its measurement has been used forfinding average particle weight in colloidal suspensions. The reason for this may be put as follows:As colloidal particles are not simple molecules and are bigger particles (i.e. physical aggregation of about 1000molecules) their number in the colloidal solutions are comparatively small. As the magnitude of colligativeproperties depends upon the number of solute particles present in the solvent, their values are smaller.( x )Optical properties : Colloidal sols exhibit the following noted optical properties:( a ) Tyndall effect -If a homogeneous solution is observed in the direction of light, it appears clear and whenit is observed from a direction at right angles to the direction of the light beam, it appears perfectly dark.But when a beam of light passes through colloidal solutions, it is scattered, the maximum scattered intensitybeing in the plane at right angles to the path of light. The path beam becomes visible. The effect was firstobserved by Faraday but was studied in detail by Tyndall and the effect is not commonly known as Tyndalleffect.
Scattering also occur in true solutions but the amount of scattering is extremely weak and there is a fundamentaldifference between the two types of scattering. Tyndall effect is characteristic of large particles (Rayleighscattering) and there being no difference between the wavelengths of incident and scattered light, solutionsexhibit Raman scattering which is characteristic of molecules.Vessel containing solBright Tyndall coneDarknessThe randomness of scattering of light by colloidal particles was shown by Tyndall as a bright cone of light. It isknown as Tyndall cone.Explanation : The tyndall effect is due to scattering of light by the colloidal particles. The colloidal particlesfirst absorb light and then a part of the absorbed light is scattered from the surface of the colloidal particles.Maximum scattereo intensity being in a plane at right angles to the plane of incident light, the path becomesvisible when seen from that direction.Application of Tyndall effect : Tyndall effect has been used by Zsigmody and Scidentonpf for making anultramicroscope. Ultramicroscope is a microscope arranged so that light illuminates the object from the sideinstead of from below. In ultramicroscope, incident light does not strike the eye of the observer and thusobserves the scattering produced by the sol particle against a dark back ground. An actual image formation isnot obtained but the presence of particle can be seen.ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF COLLOIDS :Electro-kinetic effects : Colloid particles carry an electric charge. When the sols are placed in the electricfield, certain special effects are noticed, which are termed as electro-kinetic effect. Such effects involve therelationship between the movement of one phase with respect to another in the exhibition of some electricalproperties. Such effects are of four types:(i) Electrophoresis or catephoresis(ii) Electro osmosis or Electroendosmosis(iii) Streaming potential(iv) Sedimentation potential or Dorn Effect. Let us discuss these one by one.( i ) Electrophoresis or Cataphoresis : The colloidal particles carry an electric charge. The colloidal solutionis taken in a U- tube and two platinum electrodes are dipped in the sol as shown in the figure. The currentis then switched on. On closing the circuit it is found that colloid particles move to the oppositely chargedelectrode and on reaching that electrode they get discharged. As soon as the charge of the particles isneutralized, they aggregate and settle down. This movement of colloid particles in electric field is known aselectrophoresis in case of the true solutions.CataphoresisWaterCoagulatedsol particles migratingsol particles
Since the current in the colloidal solution must be carried by both positive and negative particles, ions of thediffused layer must be moving in a direction opposite to the direction of the movement of colloid particles. In aFe(OH) sol which is positively charged, the sol particles move to the negative electrode where their charge is3neutralised and they aggregate and finally precipitate out. Thus, the entire colloidal matter settles down at the bottom.Importance : This phenomenon of electrophoresis is made use of in the following ways :(i) Determining the charge on the colloidal particles : direction of movement of the colloidal particles in theelectric field shows the charge on them.(ii) It can also be used to determine the rate at which colloidal particles migrate under the influence of anelectric field.(iii) It is also used in the identification and determination of homogeneity.(iv) It is of great importance for the preparative separations of the colloidal substances.(ii) Electro osmosis : It is also known as electro-endosmosis, in the above experiment, a partition is made byanimal membrane or parchment paper in between two electrodes, so that only the dispersion medium canmove through it and not the colloidal particles. When potential difference is set up between the electrodes,then the dispersion medium is seen to move in a direction opposite to the direction of movement of thecolloidal particles. This movement of the dispersion medium relative to the dispersed phase under theinfluence of the electric field is known as electro-osomosis. This is indicated by the rise of water level in onelimb of the U-tube.+–Measurement of electro-osmosisT'TACBELECTRIC DOUBLE LAYER:The surface of a colloidal particle acquires a positive or a negative charge by selective adsorption of ionscarrying +ve or –ve charges respectively. The charges layer attracts counter ions from the medium which formsa second layer. Thus, an electrical double layer is formed on the surface of the particles i.e., one due toabsorbed ions and the other due to oppositely charged ions forming a diffused layer. This layer consists of ionof both the signs, but its net charge is equal and opposite to those absorbed by the colloidal particles. Theexistence of charges of opposite signs on the fixed and diffused parts of the double layer creates a potentialbetween these layers. This potential difference between the fixed charge layer and diffused layer of oppositechange is called electrolkinetic potential or zeta potential.PROTECTION OF COLLOIDS :Protection : When certain hydrophilic colloids such as gum, gelatin, agar-agar etc. are added to a hydrophobiccolloid, the stability of the latter is markedly increased. Now the addition of the small amounts of electrolytesdoes not cause the precipitation of the hydrophobic colloid. This action of the hydrophilic colloids to preventprecipitation of the hydrophobic colloid by the electrolytes is called protection and the hydrophilic colloid iscalled protective colloid. It is further observed that the protective colloid not only increase the stability of thehydrophobic colloid but the latter can be evaporated to dryness and the dry mass peptised by simply shakingwith water. Thus the protective colloid converse an irreversible (hydrophobic) colloid into a reversible colloid.Protected ParticlesProtected ParticlesFormation of protective colloids
Some examples of protective colloids are :(i) Soluble substance like Ca (PO ) are held as colloids in blood due to protective action of protein in blood.34 2(ii) To prevent clogging in pens; superior pen inks contain some protective colloids(iii) Casein in human milk is better protected than in the cow's milk. It is because of this that cow's milk is moreeasily coagulated.(iv) Protargol and Argyrol powders are the protected forms of colloidal silver.Explanation :The particles of the protected colloid get adsorbed on the particles of the hydrophobic colloid, therebyforming a protective layer around it. The protective layer prevents the precipitating ions from coming incontact with the colloidal particles. According to a recent view the increase in stability of the hydrophobiccolloid is due to the mutual adsorption of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic colloids. It is immaterial whichis adsorbed on which. In fact the smaller particles whether of the protective colloid or of the hydrophobiccolloid are adsorbed on the bigger particles.Preparation of protected colloid : It is possible to get a protected sol by means of protective one. Bymeans of protection, colloid in higher concentration can be obtained. Furthermore, it is important inpreventing the growth of primarily precipitated particles.Protected sol of platinum : Paal and Amberger prepared protected sols of several metals. Theplatinum protected sol was obtained as follows : Chloroplatinic acid is added to sodium lysalbate(decomposition product of protein) taken in excess of water. To this NaOH is added till we get reddish-brown liquid which is then treated with hydrazine where N gas evolved. This solution is kept for 6 to 72hours and then dialysed. The black brittle and lustrous residue so obtained was dissolved in water whichgives a protected platinum sol.Gold Number : The power of the hydrophilic colloid to prevent the precipitation of a lyophobic colloidby addition of an electrolyte depends upon the nature of the substance. The protective character ofvarious hydrophilic substances can be expressed quantitatively by gold number. The gold number accordingto Zsigmondy may be defined as: \"The number of milligrams of the protective colloid which must beadded to 10 cc of a given gold sol so as to just prevent its precipitation by addition of 1 cc of 10% NaClsolution.\"Smaller the gold number, higher the protective power of a colloid. Gold numbers of some protective colloidsare given below :Protective ColloidGold Number Heamoglobin0.03 to 0.07 Starch 15 to 25 Gum Arabic 15 to 25 Gelatin0.005 to 0.1The protective power was also measured by Ostwald in terms of Congo Robin number. It is the amount ofa protective colloid in mg which prevents colour change in 100 mL. of 0.01% congo robin dye solution towhich 0.16 g equivalent of KCl is added when observed after 10-15 minutes.COAGULATION OR FLOCCULATION :The colloidal sols are stable by the presence of electric charges on the colloidal particles. Because of the electricrepulsion the particles do not come close to one another and coalesce. The removal of charge by any meanswill lead to the aggregation of particles and hence precipitation immediately. The process by means of whichthe particles of the dispersed phase in a sol are precipitated is known as coagulation or flocculation.Electric charges on lyophobic particles can be removed by the application of an electric field as is used inelectrophoresis. But a common method of producing precipitation is by the addition of electrolytes.The precipitate after being coagulated is known as coagulum.
Methods for coagulating a sol : There are several methods employed for coagulating a sol. Some of themare noted below :( i )By the addition of electrolytes : In this method large amount of electrolytes are added to the sols whichcause precipitation. This is due to the fact the colloidal particles take up the ion whose charges are opposite tothat on colloidal particles. With the result that the charge on colloidal particles is neutralised and coagulationtakes place. In case of arsenious sulphide sol (negatively charged) coagulation takes place by adding BaCl . It is2due to the fact that negatively charged particles of the arsenious sulphide sol take up barium ions, resultingneutralisation of the charge on the colloidal particles and hence lowering the stability of the sol.It has been observed that generally the greater the valency of the added ion, the greater is its power to causecoagulation. An ion having an opposite charge to that of the particles of the sol is responsible for coagulation.This ion is generally called as active ion. For example calcium chloride is approximately 100 times more activethan NaCl in the coagulation of a silver sol. The particles of a silver sol are stabilised by negative charges andfor the coagulation the valency of the cation is effzective. Similarly for the coagulation of positive sols thevalency of the anion is decisive. Further, the precipitating power of an electrolyte increases very rapidly withincrease in the valency of the cation or anion, the ratios being approximately 1 : 40 : 90 for the ferrichydroxide sol and 1 : 70 : 500 for the arsenious sulphide sol.Thus in the coagulation of ferric hydroxide sol, the coagulating power increases in the order ofCl > SO–4– –> PO4– – – Fe(CN)6– – – –, while in the coagulation of arsenious sulphide sol, the coagulating powerincreases in the order of Na > Ba , Al++++++. This importance of valency was first recognised by Schulze(1882) and more data were obtained latter by Linder, Picton, Hardy and Freundlich. The coagulationvalues of NaCl, BaCl and La(NO ) , for the silver sol prepared by reduction of silver carbonate with tannin23 3are 30, 0.5 and 0.003 milli/mol per/liter respectively. The coagulation or flocculation power can then beexpressed as the reciprocal of these flocculation values i.e.130: 10.5: 10.003i.e. NaCl : BaCl : La (NO ) as 0.033 : 2 : 33. 3 or 1.60 : 1000023 3 (ii)Physical methods : The coagulation of some sols can be carried out by (a) mechanical treatment, (b) heatingor cooling, (c) irradiation, (d) vigorous shaking, (e) treatment with electric current, etc.(iii)By continuous dialysis : We know that traces of electrolytes are present in the colloidal system which arenecessary for the stability. If the sol is subjected to continuous dialyser the colloidal system becomes unstable.(i v)Salting out : Coagulation of lyophilic sol can be made by the addition of sufficient high concentrations ofcertain ions. Thus salting out of lyophilic colloids is due to the tendency of ions to become solvated, causing theremoval of adsorbed water from the dispersed particles.( v )By hydrated ions: Since ions can also differ in the degree of hydration or solvation, this factor also plays animportant role in the precipitation of sols.(v i)By removal of electric charge : Removal of electric charge on lyophobic particles by means of the applicationof electric field results precipitation. This is accomplished by electrophoresis.The coagulating effect of electrolytes on hydrophobic sols was studied by Schulze, Hardy, Linder and Picton.( a )Hardy- Schulze Law : According to them, the greater the valency of the active ion, greater is thepower to cause coagulation. Active ion is responsible for coagulation.Thus, in the case of positively charged sol the coagulation power of anions is in the order of[Fe(CN) ] > [PO ] > [SO ] > [Cl]4–443–4–2–In the case of negatively charged sols, the coagulation power is in order ofAl+++ > Ba > Na+++The coagulation values of NaCl, BaCl and La(NO ) for silver sol are 30, 0.5 and 0.003 millimoles/litre.23 3The reciprocal of coagulation value is regarded as the coagulating power or flucculating power i.e.130: 10.5: 10.003 i.e., 1 : 60 : 1000

In common occurrence, however, one of the liquids is water and the other, andoily substance insoluble in it. The suspended droplets are larger than the particles of the sols: it is because of thedensity differences between the phases being small. Emulsion droplets can be observed under an ordinarymicroscope and sometimes even with a magnifying lens.An emulsion is a heterogeneous system consisting of more than one immiscible liquids dispersed in one anotherinform of droplets whose diameter, in general, exceeds 0.1 . Such systems possess an extremely small stabilitywhich is made by the addition of surface active agents, finely divided solids, etc.Type of Emulsions : Emulsions are of two types :( i ) Oil in water (o/w) type : In these emulsions oil forms the dispersed phase and water, the dispersionmedium. For example, milk, vanishing cream, etc. These are also called aqueous emulsions.(ii) Water in oil (w/o) type : In these emulsions water is in the dispersed phase and oil in the dispersionmedium. For example, butter, cold cream etc. are also called oil emulsions.In addition to above there is one usual type known as multiple emulsion. As the name indicates, a multipleemulsion is one in which both types of emulsion exists simultaneously. It can be denoted as w/o/w emulsion.Factors determining the type of emulsions : When two liquids, say oil in water are shaken to form anemulsion, the type of emulsion formed, (i.e. oil in water or water in oil) depends upon the following factors:( a ) Relative proportion of the two liquids : As a general rule the liquid present in excess forms thedispersion medium. For example to obtain an emulsion of oil in water, water is taken in excess and toobtain water in oil emulsion, oil is taken in excess.( b ) Surface tension of the two liquids : The liquid with greater tendency to form spherical drops andhence the dispersed phase. Thus, if the surface tension of an oil in is greater than that of water, it will forman oil in water type emulsion.Preparation of emulsions : Emulsions are usually obtained by spraying mixtures of phases through narrownozzles or in counter-rotary agitators. The nature of the emulsifying agent determines the type of the emulsionobtained. According to Boncroft Rule :\"The phase in which the stabilizer is more insoluble becomes the external phase.\"Neutral soaps which are insoluble in hydrocarbons but soluble in water give oil-in water emulsions while acidsoaps which are more soluble in hydrocarbons yield water-in-oil water emulsions. Emulsions can also be preparedby using ultrasonic waves.Emulsion is, however, also possible with stabilizers insoluble in both phases. In these cases the phase whichwets the emulsifier better becomes the outer phase. Clay, glass powder, calcium carbonate, and pyrites areeasily wetted by water and give rise to aqueous emulsion while lamp black, which is more easily wetted by anoil, gives oily emulsion.A condensation method given by Summer has been employed in preparation of concentrated o/w emulsions.
Characteristic of emulsions:(i) Concentration and particles size : In the case of emulsions the amount of one liquid dispersed in anotheris relatively much greater as compared to the soles. The maximum amount of one liquid which can dispersedin another cannot exceed 74% of the total volume available. Emulsions more concentrated than 74% havealso been found. The diameter of droplets in case of emulsions is of the order of 0.001 – 0.05 mm. Recentlystable emulsions having diameter of 0.0001 mm have also been reported.(ii) Optical properties : A relationship between optical properties and particle size and also between lightscattering with the properties of suspensions have been reported. The interfacial areas in emulsions byoptical measurements have been determined by Langlois and other's in 1954.(iii)Viscosity : The property of viscosity (resistance to flow) is quite important both for practical and theoreticalpurposes. It provides some information about the structure of emulsions.(i v) Electrical `Conductivity : This property is useful in distinguishing between o/w and w/o type of emulsions.The emulsion in which water is the dispersion medium possesses high conducitivity than the emulsionhaving oil as dispersion medium.Emulsifiers :In order to prepare stable emulsions, it is important to add a third component known as emulsifier or emulsifyingagent in suitable amounts. Several types of emulsifiers are known.(i) Long chain compounds with polar groups such as soap, sulphonic acid, sulphates etc.(ii) Most of the lyophilic colloids also act as emulsifiers such as glue, gelatin etc.(iii) Certain insoluble powders as clay, lamp, black etc.(iv) Soluble substances like iodine also act as emulsifiers.Role of an emulsifier : An emulsifier may act in two ways :1. It may be more soluble in one liquid than in the other: In this case it will form a sort of protective filmaround the drops of this liquid in which it is less soluble and thus prevents them from coming together (fig-a)] For example neutral soaps which are more soluble in water than in olive oil is water type emulsion [Fig.-b]. Acidic soaps which are more soluble in oils than in water, give water in oil type emulsion [fig-c]2. The emulsifiers may be insoluble in both the liquids but not unequally wetted by the two.Oil Emulsification of oil and water by an acid soapE m u ls i f ie rWaterOilWater Emulsification of oil and water by neutral soapE m u ls i f ie rWaterSoot particlesKerosene Oil Emulsification of water and kerosene by soot particles [Fig-a] [Fig-b] [Fig-c]Importance of Emulsions : Emulsions find manifold applications in various fields.( i ) Medicine - Numerous medicines and pharmaceutical preparations are emulsions. In such forms they havebeen found to be more effective. Cod-liver oil, caster oil, petroleum oil are used in medicines and areemulsions.(ii) Articles of daily use- Milk is an emulsion of fat dispersed in water stabilised by casein. Ice cream is anemulsion. Butter, coffee, fruit jellies etc., are all emulsions in nature.(iii)Cosmetics : The skin penetrating vanishing creams o/w type emulsions and hair creams, cold creams arew/o type emulsions. The lotions, creams and ointments are stabilized by lanoline.(i v) Industry :The latex obtained form the sap of certain trees is an emulsion of negatively charged rubber particlesdispersed in water.
During the concentration of sulphide ores, froth floatation process is employed. In the process, oil emulsion isadded to the finely divided ore and foam produced by passing ore contains most of the particles of the ore.Emulsion of oils and fats have been employed in leather industry for making soft leather and water proof.Asphalt emulsified in water is used for building roads, with the necessity of melting the Asphalt.Emulsions are also employed in oil and fat industry, paints and varnishes, cellulose and paper industry etc.Furthermore, spraying liquids in the form of emulsions are used in agriculture.MICELLIZATIONThe diphilic nature of surfactant molecules, i.e. the presence in them of a polar (hydrophillic) and non-polar(hydrophobic) parts has been a feature of their structure imparting special properties to these molecules. Thediphilic nature was characterized very well by Hartley as a \"split personality\". It has been exactly the diphilicnature of surfactant molecules that underlies their tendency of gathering at phase interfaces, immersing theirhydrophillic part in water, and isolating their hydrophobic part from it. This tendency ascertains their surfaceactivity i.e. their ability to be adsorbed at the water-air interface or a water-oil one, to wet the surface ofhydrophobic bodies, and form structures such as soap films or lipid membranes.With an increase in the asymmetry of the molecules ( a growth in the length of the hydrophobic chain), theirsurface activity grows (Traube's rule) and accordingly, their special behaviour in a solution, different from that ofsimple salts, gets more pronounced. It manifests itself the most appreciably for long-chain surfactants with 10-20 carbon atoms in a chain that get characterized by an optimal balance of hydrophilic and hydrophobicproperties. These substances, which are having many practical applications (for example, as floatation reagents,stabilizers, and detergents) have special properties in solutions that are of considerable interest.At low concentrations these surfactants tend to form true solutions that disperse up to individual molecules (orions). With a growth in the concentration, however, the duality of the properties of the molecules of suchdiphilic substances gives rise to their self-association in the solution. This results in the formation of what arecalled micelles.Micelles may be defined to be aggregates of long- chain diphilic surfactant molecules or ions formed spontaneouslyin their solutions at a definite concentration. The latter depends on the nature of the polar group and especiallyon the length of the molecule chain, Micelles can be characterized by the aggregation number (the number ofmolecules in a micelle) and the micellar mass (the sum of the molecular masses of the molecules forming amicelle).Micelles form by the cooperative binding of monomers to one another at concentrations exceeding a rathernarrow region called the critical micellization concentration (CMC). The latter is the concentration of a surfactantat which a large number of micelles form in its solution that have been in thermodynamic equilibrium with themolecules (ions), and a number of properties of the solution sharply change.This sharp transition to the CMC region for systems with flexible chains could be attributed to the cooperativenature of the self- association process. This makes aggregates containing many monomers considerably morestable than small particles. The CMC has been one of the most easily determined experimentally and usefulquantitative characteristics of solutions of surfactants with flexible chains.IONIC MICELLESAccording to McBain colloidal electrolytes cannot be regarded as macromolecules as they are individual moleculesof giant size in solution. They also differ from lyophobic colloids, because the latter are unstable. Large sizeanions, e.g., C17H . COO , RSO etc. and cations like RH(CH ) , aggregate to form ionic micelles of colloidal33–33 3+dimensions containing number of ions together containing appreciable water molecules. So the ionic micellesare the aggregates formed in solution by colloidal electrolytes.The formation of micelles can also take place from neutral or non-ionic molecules, e.g. polythelene oxide.Ionic micelles of sodium oleate : The formation of micelle by sodium oleate, C H COO Na is a1733–+striking example of colloidal electrolytes. In this case there are two parts, one is tail, i.e. hydrocarbonpart C H , and the other is head COONa. The COONa is an ionisable lyophillic group which tries to1733go in to water resulting into ions. The C H part tends to go away from solution. But if the concentration1733is increased the hydrocarbon part forms the aggregate micelle is therefore that of anions and maycontain hundred or more oleate ions clamped together.
Critical micelle concentration (CMC) : In very dilute solutions, sodium and potassium oleate andother similar substances, remain as individual molecules ionising into positive and negative ions. Accordingto Davies and Bury the concentration at which micelle becomes appreciable, is termed as critical micelleconcentration. At this concentration there is an abrupt change in the properties, it decreases with theincrease of temperature. Every colloidal electrolyte has a definite value of CMC.Type of ionic micelles : McBain suggested the presence of more than one type of ionic micelles in agiven solution of a colloidal electrolyte. Some of them are described below :+++++++++( i )Lamellar micelle :In consists of double leaflet of soap molecules placed end to end and side by side. X-ray study has revealed theexistence of other kind of micelle in which molecules are laid end to end, side by side, as in lameller micelle.The difference from each other and are separated by layer of water, depending upon concentration. Hoffman'sinvestigation has shown that the molecules in the micelle are rotated at an angle of 55°. According to Stuff themolecules are closely packed side by side in an irregular manner as in a liquid crystal. (Fig.1)(ii)Spherical micelle :According to Hartley ionic micelles can be spherical. Although this consent is employed but is open to criticism.(iii)Elleipsoidal or cylindrical micelle :Klevens has suggested that the micelle may also be an elongated ellipsoidal or of cylindrical model.GELS :Colloidal system in which liquids are the dispersed phase and solid act as the dispersion medium are called gels.The common examples are : boot pollishes, jelly, gum arabic, agar agar, processed cheese and silicic acid.When the gels are allowed to stand for a long time, they give out small quantities of trapped liquids withaccumulate on its surface. This action of gels is known as Synresis of Weeping. Some gels such as silica, geltinand ferric hydroxide liquify on shaking and reset on alloweing to stand. This phenomenon of Sol-geltransformation is called thixotropy.Gels are divided into two categories i.e. elastic gels and non elastic gels. The two categories differ from theirbehaviour towards dehydration and rehydration as under,E la s t ic g elsN o n -ela s t ic g els1 They change to solid m ass on dehydration which They change to solid m ass on dehydration which can be changed back to original form by addi-tion of water followed by warm ing. cannot be changed back to original form with water.2 They absorb water placed in it with sim ultaneous sewlling. This phenom enon is called im bibation. They do not exhibit im bibation.
INTRODUCTION : SURFACE CHEMISTRYIt has been known that the surface of a liquid is in a state of strain or unsaturation due to the unbalanced orresidual forces which act along the surface of a liquid. Similar to it, the surface of a solid may also have residualforces or valances. Thus, the surface of a solid has a tendency to attract and to retain molecules of otherspecies (gas or liquids) with which such surfaces come in contact. This phenomenon of surfaces is termed asadsorption.As the molecules remain only at the surface, and do not go deeper into the bulk of the solid, the concentrationof adsorbed gas or liquid is more at the surface than in the bulk. Hence this discussion may follow up by thedefinition of adsorption.\"Adsorption is a technical term coined to denote the taking up (Latin, surbere, to such up) of gas, vapour,liquid by a surface or interface.Differences between Adsorption, Absorption and Sorption. Adsorption is a surface phenomenon whereasabsorption is a bulk phenomenon in which the substance assimilated is uniformly distributed throughout thebody of a solid or liquid to form a solution or a compound. The phenomenon of adsorption and absorption areillustrated in figure.AdsorbateAdsorbed molecule(Surface Concentration)AdsorbentAbsorbed molecule(Uniform Penetration)(Adsorption and absorption)(Sorption)Adsorption should be distinguished carefully from absorption.(i)In absorption, the substance is distributed throughout the body of a solid or a liquid to form a solution or acompound. On the other hand, adsorption only takes place on the surface and not in the body of adsorbent.Thus, adsorption is a surface phenomenon, and absorption is a bulk phenomenon.(ii)In absorption, the concentration of the adsorbed molecules is always found to be greater in the immediatevicinity of the surface (Adsorbent) than in the free phase (Adsorbate). On the contrary, absorption involvesbulk penetration of the molecules into the structure of the solid or liquid by some process of diffusion.(iii)In case of adsorption, the equilibrium is easily attained in a very short time whereas in absorption the equilibriumtakes place slowly.(iv)According to freundlich absorption isotherm 1 / nxk p m

In this example,charcoal adsorbs the colouring material and thus decolourises the solution.(iv)The colour of the lake test for aluminium ions is due to adsorption of dye (litmus) on the freshly precipitatedaluminimum hydroxide.(v)When a hot crucible is allowed to cool in air, a film of moisture is formed at the surface. This is the caseof adsorption of water vapour on the surface of a crucible.(vi)When sponge is put into water, it takes up water. It is example of absorption.Nomenclature used in Adsorption : The material on the surface of which adsorption takes place is calledthe adsorbent and the substance adsorbed is called the adsorbate. The common surface separating two phases,where the adsorbed molecule concentrates is referred to as the interface. The large the surface area of theadsorbent, the more the adsorption. Due to this reason colloids are good adsorbents due to their high surfacearea per unit mass although they have very small dimensions.Adsorption stands for different concentrations of a substance at an interface. If the concentration is more at aninterface, the adsorption is said to be positive; if the concentration is less at an interface, the adsorption is saidto be negative. The reverse process of removal of an adsorbed substance from the surface of a solid is knownas desorption.Example of Adsorbents :( a )Silica gel : It acts as a good adsorbent and is prepared by mixing sodium silicate with 10% hydrochloricacid at 50°C.( b )Metals : Metals act as good adsorbents and are being used for contact catalysis. These are prepared bythe reduction of their oxides or of the salts under suitable experimental conditions. Examples are Ni, Cu,Ag, Pt and Pd.( c )Colloids : As colloids possess high surface per unit mass due to their small size, they act as goodadsorbents.Examples of Adsorbates : There are various gases (He, Ne, O , N ,SO , NH etc.) and substances in2223solution (NaCl, KCl) which can be adsorbed by suitable adsorbents.CHARACTERISTICS OF ADSORPTION :The various characteristics of adsorption are as follows :(i)Adsorption is a spontaneous process and takes place in no time.(ii)The phenomenon of adsorption can occur at all surfaces and five types of interfaces can exist: gas -solid,liquid-solid, liquid-liquid, solid-solid and gas-gas. The gas-solid interface has probably received the mostattention in the literature and is the best understood. The liquid- solid interface is now receiving muchattention because of its importance in many electrochemical and biological systems.(iii)It is accompanied by a decrease in the free energy of the system, i.e., G. The adsorption will continueto such an extent that G continues to be negative.
(iv)As the process of adsorption involves loss of degree of freedom of the gas in passing from the free gasto the adsorbed film there is a decrease in the entropy of the system.It follows from the Gibbs-Helmholtz equationG = H –T S... (i)orH = G + T S... (ii)Where G is the change in free energy, H is the change in heat content, S is the change in entropy, andT is the temperature of the system. As the entropy and free energy decrease in adsorption, the value of Hdecreases. This decrease in heat content ( H) appears as heat. Hence the adsorption process must always beexothermic.SORPTION AND OCCLUSION :In many examples, the initial rapid adsorption is followed by a slow process of absorption of the substance intothe interior of the solid. In these cases, the effect of absorption cannot be distinguished from those of adsorption.Therefore, the two new terms were introduced:( i )Sorption : The process in which both adsorption and absorption take place simultaneously is generally termedas sorption. This term was suggested by Mcbain (1990). Examples are-(a) The uptake of gases by zeolites is a striking example of sorption(b) When hydrogen is taken up by charcoal, it first condenses on its surface. This is adsorption. After sometime,the hydrogen diffuses slowly into the interior of the charcoal forming a true solid solution and hence, this isabsorption. So the charcoal has adsorbed as well as absorbed hydrogen gas. Therefore, it is an example ofsorption.(c) The direct dye-stuff taken up by cotton fibres are also in the adsorbed as well as in the absorbed state.(ii)Occulusion : In 1886 T Graham proposed the term occlusion which possesses a similar significance tosorption. But this term occlusion is restricted to the sorption of gases by metals only.ADSORPTION OF GASES ON SOLIDS :( 1 )Introductory :The study of the gas-solid adsorption process has excited the interest of both academic and industrial scientistsfor many years, and the reactions are not hard to find. Industrially, it is known that this phenomenon plays anessential role in the catalytic process. The ability of surface to selectively accelerate the rates of many chemicalreactions is the basis of much of the heavy-chemical production in the world.It is generally believed that all gases or vapours are adsorbed on the surfaces of all solids with which they are incontact. The phenomenon was first described in 1773 by Scheele, who discovered the uptake of gases bycharcoal.( 2 )Factors on which Adsorption depends :The phenomenon of adsorption of gases by solids depends upon the following factors:( i ) Nature of adsorbent and adsorbate :The amount of the gas adsorbed depends upon the nature of the adsorbent and the gas (adsorbate) whichis to be adsorbed.Gases like SO , NH , HCl and CO which liquefy more easily are adsorbed more readily than the permanent232gases like H , N and O which do not liquefy easily. This is because the easily liquefiable gases have greater222van der waal's or the molecular forces of attraction or cohesive forces.As the critical temperatures of the easily liquefiable gases are more than the permanent gases, it followsthat higher the critical temperature of the gas (adsorbate), the greater the extent of adsorption.
(ii) Surface area of the adsorbent :The extent of adsorption of gases by solids depends upon the exposed surface area of the adsorbent. It iswell known that larger the surface area of the adsorbent, the large will be the extent of adsorption undergiven conditions of temperature and pressure. It is for this reason that silica gel and charcoal obtained fromdifferent animal and vegetable sources become activated because they posses a porous structure andthereby render a larger surface.(iii)The partial pressure of the gas in the phase :For a given gas and a given adsorbent, the extent of adsorption depends on the pressure of the gas.Adsorption of a gas is followed by a decrease of pressure. Therefore, in accordance with Le chatelier'sprinciple, the magnitude of adsorption decreases with the decrease in pressure and vice-versa. The variationof adsorption with pressure at constant temperature is expressed graphically by a curve known as adsorptionisotherm.(i v) Effect of temperature :For a given adsorbate and a adsorbent, the extent of adsorption depends upon the temperature of theexperiment. As discussed earlier, adsorption usually takes place with the evolution of heat. Therefore,according to the Le chatelier's principle, the decrease in temperature will increase the adsorption and vice-versa. An example is that if the temperature of the coconut charcoal is lowered from –29° to –78°C, theamount of nitrogen gas adsorbed increases from 20 to 45 mL. under the same pressure.( 3 )Types of Adsorption of the gases on solids :Based on the nature of forces between the gas and the solid surface, there are two types of adsorption.( 1 ) Physisorption or Physical Adsorption :If the physical forces of attraction hold the gas molecules to the solid, the adsorption is known as physicaladsorption or physisorption. The forces of attraction bringing about physical adsorption are :(i) Permanent dipole moment in the adsorbed molecule.(ii) Polarisation(iii) Dispersion effect(iv) Short range repulsive effectIn case of physisorption, the forces of attraction which hold the gas molecules to the solid are very weak.Therefore it is characterised by a low heat of adsorption, usually of the order of 40 kJ per mole. This valueis of the same order of magnitude as the heat of vaporisation of the adsorbate and lends credence to theconcept of a weak \"physical\" bonding. Physical adsorption is usually observed at low temperature or onrelatively \"inert\" surfaces.Examples of physisorption are as follows:(i) Adsorption of various gases on charcoal(ii) Adsorption of nitrogen on mica( 2 ) Chemisorption or chemical Adsorption :If the chemical forces hold the gas molecules to the surface of the adsorbent, the adsorption is known aschemisorption. In this case the adsorbate undergoes a strong chemical interaction with the unsaturatedsurface and gives rise to a high heat of adsorption, usually of the order of 400 kJ per mole. Chemisorptionis often characterised by taking place at elevated temperatures and is often an activated process. It may bedissociative, non- dissociative or reactive in nature. Some examples of chemisorption are :(a) Ethyl alcohol vapours condensed on the divided nickel.(b) Adsorption of oxygen on tungsten(c) Adsorption of hydrogen on nickel.
(3 ) Distinction between Physisorption and Chemisorption :Exact differentiation between chemical and physical adsorption is often difficult and usually unprofitable. Tothe practising chemist a physically adsorbed species is usually considered to be an adsorbed material thatcan be completely removed from the surface, without decomposition, by prolonged evacuation at roomtemperature or by heating to 120°C. This experimental choice of conditions is completely arbitrary, and thefinal decision is always left with the experimenter. However, the advent of infrared spectroscopy had led toa better means of distinguishing between the two processes.32003000330032003260333(c)cm–1(b)(a)0.20.40.10.202800(Infrared spectra of (a) acetylene in liquid solution, (b) acetylene on porous silica glass (c) acetylene on poroussilica glass coated with palladium)We know that the infrared spectrum of a molecule arises as a result of the vibrations of the atoms within themolecules. If the molecule is physically adsorbed, the infrared spectrum is altered only slightly and smallfrequency shifts, usually less than 1 percent, are observed. During the chemisorption process, the symmetryof the adsorbed molecule is completely different from that of the gaseous molecule. In this case a completelynew infrared spectrum is observed and band shifts and intensities are removed from those of the gaseousabsorbate.Let us illustrate this method by considering the IR spectra of acetylene in solution and adsorbed on silicaand on palladium coated silica. These spectra are shown in figure (a) which represents the infrared spectrumof acetylene in liquid solution, (b) represents of acetylene on porous silica glass, and (c) of acetylene onporous silica glass coated with palladium. The IR spectrum on silica (fig b) is like that in solution (fig-a)except for a small shift to lower frequencies, but the IR spectrum on palladium (fig-c) is completely differentand contains extra new bands. These spectra can be explained by saying that the latter case is a chemisorptionwith formation of new bonds (fig c) whereas the former case (fig b) is a typical physical adsorption.( 4 ) Differences between physisorption and chemisorption :The various differences are as follows:( a ) Specificity :Physisorptions are non-specific. Thus, every gas is adsorbed to a lesser or a greater extent on all solidsurfaces. On the other hand, chemisorptions are more specific in nature. A gas will be chemisorbed onsuch solids only with which it can combine chemically.( b ) Speed :Physisorptions are instantaneous. Chemisorptions may sometimes be quite slow depending upon the natureof chemical reaction involved. A rough estimate is that adsorbable impurities of air are adsorbed by gasmasks in a contact of less than 0.01 second.
(c) Reversibility :Physisorption equilibrium is reversible and is rapidly established. Chemisorption is irreversible. Physicallyadsorbed layer can be removed very easily by changing pressure or concentration. On the other hand theremoval of a chemisorbed layer, however, requires much more rugged conditions such as high temperature,etc.( d ) Heat of adsorption :Physical adsorption is generally characterised by low heats of adsorption which is about 40 kJ/mole orless.Chemisorption is characterised by high heats of adsorption viz. 40 to 400 kJ per mole which indicates thatforces are similar to those involved in chemical reactions. Therefore, it is highly probable that gas moleculesfrom a chemical compound with the surface of the adsorbent.( e ) Nature of adsorbate and adsorbent :Physical adsorption like condensation can occur with any gas-solid system provided only that the conditionsof temperature and pressure are suitable. The chemisorption will take place only if the gas is capable offorming a chemical bond with the surface atoms.( f ) Effect of Pressure :As the pressure of the adsorbate increases, the rate of physical adsorption increases. The rate of chemisorptiondecreases with the increase of pressure of adsorbate.( g ) Effect of temperature :Physical adsorption occurs to an appreciable extent at temperatures close to those required for liquefactionof adsorbed gases. Generally, chemisorption occurs at high temperatures. But certain examples are knownin which it occurs at low temperature. Chemisorption increases at first and then falls off with risingtemperature.A graph drawn between amount adsorbed (x/m) and temperature (T) at a constant equilibrium pressure ofadsorbate gas is called an adsorption isobar. Adsorption isobars of physisorption and chemisorption showon important difference (fig) and this difference is used for experimentally distinguishing chemisorptionfrom physisorption. While the physical adsorption isobar shows a decrease in x/m along the rise intemperature, the chemisorption isobar shows an initial increase with temperature and then the expecteddecreases. The initial increase shows that, like the chemical reactions, chemisorption also needs activationenergy. However, the latter decrease indicates that at higher temperatures desorption does occur inchemisorption process. Frequently during the high temperature desorptions the evolved gas carries with itsome atoms of the adsorbent as well in a chemically bound form.TPhysical adsorptionxmTChemisorptionxm

These sites are known as active centres.(x)Not very specificOften very specificPHYSICAL ADSORPTIONTypes of adsorption curves : As discussed earlier, the magnitude of adsorption depends on the pressure ofthe gas and the temperatures of the experiment for a given gas and a given adsorbent. Hence, the amount ofthe gas adsorbed is a function of temperature and pressure only. Mathematically, it can be expressed asa = f (P.T.)... (i)where a is the amount of gas adsorbed, P is the pressure, and T is the temperature.When equation (i) is represented graphically, three different curves are obtained.( i )Adsorption Isotherm - If the temperature is kept constant and pressure is changed, the curve between a andP is known as adsorption isotherm.a = f(P) if T is constant.(ii)Adsorption Isobar : If pressure is kept constant and temperature is varied, the curve between a and T iscalled the adsorption isobar.a = f(T) if P is constant(iii)Adsorption Isostere : If the amount adsorbed is kept constant, the curve between P and T is known asadsorption isostere.P = f(T) if a is constant.
Types of Adsorption Isotherms (Physical) : Seven types of physical adsorption isotherms have been reported.These are give below in the figure.P(I)aP(II)aBP (III)aP (IV)aP(V)aType I : This type of curve is obtained in such cases where mono-molecular layer is formed on the surface ofthe adsorbent. This curve shows that a saturation state is reached. It means that there is no change in the valueof 'a' (the amount adsorbed) with the increase in pressure onwards. This type of the curve is rare. Example is theadsorption of nitrogen on charcoal at –195° C.Type II : This type of isotherm has a transition point 'B' which represents the pressure at which the formationof monomolecular layer is complete and that of the multi-molecular layer is being started. For many years it wasthe practice to take point B at the knee of the curve as the point of completion of a monolayer, and the surfaceareas obtained by the method are fairly consistent with those found using adsorbates that give type I isotherms.Example is the adsorption of nitrogen on silica gel at –195°C.Type-III : In this type of isotherm there is no transition point. In this the multi-molecular layer formation startseven before the formation of monomolecular layer is complete.Example is the adsorption of bromine or iodine vapours on silica gel at 79°C. Type III This type is relatively rareand a recent example of this is that of the adsorption of nitrogen on ice. This type seems to be characterised bya heat of adsorption equal to or less than the heat of liquefaction of the adsorbate.Type IV : In this case there is a tendency for a saturation state to be reached in the multimolecular region aswell. In fact that can be regarded as a duplication of the II type. Example is the adsorption of benzene vapouron ferric oxide get at 50°C.Type V : This isotherm indicates multimolecular layer formation in the beginning. At higher pressure, there isa tendency for 'a' (amount absorbed) to remain constant. It means that the saturation state has been reached.Example is the adsorption of water vapour on charcoal at 100°C.Type VI and Type VII : There is a need to recognise at least the two additional isotherms shown in fig. Theseare expected for non wetting adsorbate-adsorbent systems.P/P0(VI)001x0xP/P0(VII)x001x0(Two additional types of adsorption isotherms expected for non-wetting adsorbate-adsorbent systems)
VARIOUS ADSORPTION ISOTHERMS :The various types of adsorption isotherms are :(i) Classical Freundlich adsorption isotherm in 1909, Freundlich proposed an empirical equation and was known as Freundlich adsorption isotherm. This equation is as follows:x/m = kp1/n... (i)where x is amount of adsorbate, m is the amount of adsorbent, p is the pressure, k and n are two constantsdepending upon the nature of the adsorbent and adsorbate, and n being less than unity.Equation (i) is applicable to the adsorption of gases on solids.In case of solution, equation (i) takes the formx/m = kc1/n...(ii)where c is the concentration of the solute in gm moles per litre.Equations (i) and (ii) predict the effect of pressure (or concentration) on the adsorption of gases (or solution) atconstant temperature in a quantitative manner.Test of Freundlich's Adsorption Isotherm.Taking logarithms of equations (i) and (ii), we getlog xm= log k + 1nlog p... (iii)and logxm = log k +1nlog c... (iv)If log xm is plotted against log p or log c, a straight line should be obtained as shown in fig. The slope of the linewill give the value of 1nand the intercept on the Y-axis gives the value of log k, i.e.xablog klog Pxmlog}xlog PxmlogIntercept = log kandslope = ba=1nThus by using equations (iii) and (iv), the values of k and n can be calculated from the graph (fig). Analysis of thegraph shows that as p increases xm, also increase and, thus, the Freundlich's equation indicates no limit to thisincrease. But experimental values, when plotted, show some deviations from linearity especially at low pressures.This is seen in fig. If we compare theoretical and experimental curves (fig), the two agree over a certain rangeof pressure only. Thus, Freundlich's equation has a limitation that it is valid over a certain range of pressure only.Limitations of Freundlich's Equation :(1)It is valid over a certain range of pressure only.(2)The constant k and n vary with the temperature.(3)Freundlich adsorption equation is a purely empirical formula without theoretical foundation.
(ii)Langmuir Adsorption Isotherm : It has already been stated that Frenudlich adsorption isotherm holdsgood for a certain range of pressure only. To solve this difficulty, Langmuir (1916) worked out an adsorptionisotherm known as Langmuir's adsorption isotherm The various assumptions are :(a)The adsorbed layer on the solid adsorbent is assumed to be unimolecular in thickness. This view is widelyaccepted for adsorption at low pressure or at moderately high temperature. However, the adsorbedmolecules can hold other gas molecules by van der Waal's forces, so that multimolecular layers arepossible. Such behaviour is apparent only at relatively low temperatures and at pressure approachingthe saturation value. But Langmuir only considered the formation of unimolecular layer while derivingthis relation.(b)The adsorption is taking place on the fixed sites and there is no interaction between the adsorbedmolecules on the surface. One site adsorbs one molecule. When the whole surface is completely coveredby a unimolecular layer of the gas, further adsorption is not possible and indicates a maximum ofsaturation of adsorption.(c)The process of adsorption is a dynamic process which consists of two opposing processes:( i )Condensation Process : It involves the condensation of the molecules of the gas on the surface oftheir solid.(ii)Evaporation Process : It involves evaporation of the molecules of adsorbate from the surface of theadsorbent.When adsorption starts, the whole adsorbent surface remains bare and so the initial rate of condensation ismaximum. As the surface becomes gradually covered, the rate of condensation becomes smaller and smaller.On the contrary, the initial rate of evaporation (desorption) of the condensed molecules is smallest at thebeginning of adsorption, but increases as the surface becomes more and more covered.Ultimately, when the equilibrium is reached, the rate of condensation becomes equal to the rate of evaporation.It means that the number of gas molecules condensing on the given surface is equal to the number of moleculesevaporating away per unit time from the same surface, i.e. the arrangement of the adsorbed molecule on thesurface in unidirectional.(d)Gas behaves ideally.(e) Surface is uniform energetically.Derivation :On the basis of above postulates, Langmuir deduced the equation describing the quantitative relationshipbetween the pressure and the amount of gas adsorbed at constant temperature. Suppose n is the number ofmolecules of the gas striking one square cm of the surface per second. Let be the fraction of the moleculescondensing on the surface. Then n is the total number of molecules which condense on the surface. Thiscondensation is not taking place on the whole surface but it is taking place at only n (1 – ) sq. cm.,where sq.cm. is the fraction of the area already covered by the gas molecules and 1 sq. cm is the total surface area. Rate of condensation of gaseous molecules on the surface= (1 – ) n ... (v)One know that :Rate of evaporation area of surface covered.or Rate of evaporation = kwhere k is the proportionality constant. When equilibrium is set up, the rate of condensation is equal to the rateof evaporation, i.e.k = (1 – ) n ...(vi)ork + n = n
or =nkn ... (vii)From kinetic theory of gases, it follows that Number of molecules pressure of the gas striking the surfaceorn pn = p... (viii)where is the proportionality constant.Nowknn = kn+ 1... (ix)= kp + 1{From equation (8) p = n}= 11k p+ 1 =111k pk p... (x)Where k = 1k is another constant equation (x) can be written asknn =111k pk p... (xi)or nkn =11k p1k pcomparing equations (vii) and (xi), we obtain =11k p1k p... (xii)If it is supposed that one molecule thick layer of the gas is formed on the surface, thenxm... (xiii)orxm= k2... (xiv)where k is another proportionality constant.2Equation (xiii) implies that amount of gas adsorbed per unit mass of adsorbent is proportional to fraction of thesurface covered. Substituting the value of from equation (xii) into the equation (xiv), we obtainxm =211k k p1k p... (xv)or1x / m= 1211k pk k porpx / m= 121k k+2pk... (xvi)Equation (xvi) is known as Langmuir's adsorption isotherm.A plot of px / magainst p should be a straight line.Another form of equation (xvi) can be obtained by introducing the term V which is equal to the volume ofmadsorbate required to complete a unimolecular layer, i.e, to saturate the surface. The fraction, , of the surfacecovered is then equal to V/V where V is the volume adsorbed at a given pressure p. Hence equation (xii)mbecomes asmVV=11k p1k por pV= 1m1k V+mpV... (xvi A)Equation (xvi A) is another form of the Langmuir equation.
Discussion : Three different cases may arise :Case I : When pressure of the gas is very low, k p is negligible as compared to unity. It implies that , the1fraction covered by adsorption, is quite small. In such a special case, equation (xv) becomes asxm= k k p1 2... (xvii)orxm p... (xviii)Thus, under low pressure, the amount of the gas adsorbed per unit quantity of adsorbent is directly proportionalto the pressure. This has been confirmed by experimental observation.Case II : When pressure is very large, k p becomes larger than unity. In such a special case equation (xv)1becomes as :xm =121k k pk p( k p >> 1) 1orxm= k2... (xix)This equation shows that at high pressure, the amount of adsorbed gas is independent of pressure.Case III : At low pressure, equation (xviii) isxm p or xm = constant × pAt high pressure, equation (xix) is xm = constantTherefore, at moderate pressure, Langmuir adsorption equation becomes asxm = constant × p1/norxm= kp1/n... (xx)Equation (xx) is the Freundlich adsorption equation (i). In equation (xx), 1/n lies between zero and unity. Sometypical shapes of Langmuir's curves are illustrated in figure.v PxAs pressure is increased or temperature is decreased, additional layers are formed. This has let to the modernconcept of multi-molecular adsorption.Test of the Langmuir adsoprtion isothermFrom equation (xvi), we havepx / m=121k k+2pkA plot of px / mversus p should give a straight line. The slope of this is 21kand the intercept on the y-axis gives21k(fig.)p Px/m
In certain cases, the experimental curves are not straight. This may be due to the following reasons:(i)non-uniformity of surfaces.(ii)formation of multiple layers in some cases.(iii)partial adsorption, and(iv)some chemical reaction of the adsorbate with the adsorbent.Successes of the theory :(i)The mechanism of adsorption presented by Langmuir explains chemical adsorption or chemisorption.(ii)Langmuir's theory is more satisfactory than the Feundlich's equation while explaining physical adsorptionof gases on different adsorbent whenever saturation is approached.Limitations : The main limitations are :(i)Langmuir postulated that a saturated value of adsorption is independent of temperature. But experimentshows that it is actually falling off with rising temperatures.(ii)Langmuir assumed that an adsorption film on a plane surface will never be over a molecule thick. Inactual practice, much thicker films have been reported.(iii)This theory cannot explain all the five types of adsorption isotherms.

Such addition compounds which lose their identity insolutions are called double salts .(b)Those which retain their identity in solution.In aqueous solution, these addition compounds do not furnish all simple ions but instead give more complex ionshaving complicated structure .These types of compounds are called complex compounds or co-ordination compounds.Central metal ion Ligandcounter ionCo-ordination sphereML xA2 .LIGANDSAtom/molecule/ ion, which form co-ordinate bond with central metal atom by donating its electron pair knownas ligand.

The main postulates of this theory are:(a)In co-ordination compound metals have two types of valencies :– Primary valency and secondary valency.(b)Primary valencies are normally ionisable and non directional. Secondary valency is normally non ionisableand directional.CO-ORDINATION CHEMISTRY
(c)Every metal has fixed secondary valencies i.e. it has a fixed co-ordination number.(d)Primary linkages (valencies) are satisfied by negative ions while secondary valencies are satisfied by eitherneutral molecules or negative ions. In certain cases, a negative ion may satisfy both type of valencies.P.V. = O.S. of central metal atom.S.V. = Coordination number(B )Sidwick Theory or Effective Atomic Number Concept (EAN)Sidwick proposed effective atomic number theory to explain the stability of the complexes. EAN is definedas the total number of electrons with the metal atoms or ions after gaining electrons from the donoratoms or the ligand. The EAN generally coincides with the atomic number of next inert gas except insome cases.EAN can be calculated by the following relation:EAN = atomic number (Z) of the metal – oxidation state of metal ion + number of electrons gainedby central atom from the donor atoms of the ligands.(C)Valence Bond TheoryThe main features of this theory are -(a)Every metal ion when it forms a complex compound undergoes formation of coordinate covalent bond.(b)During this bond formation, the central metal ion acts as electron pair acceptor. For this the metal ionprovides vacant orbitals.(c)The number of vacant orbitals provided is equal to the coordination number of metal ion.Ex.In the formation of [Fe(NH ) ] , Fe ion provides six vacant orbitals.3 6 3++3In [Cu(NH ) ] , Cu ion provides four vacant orbitals.3 4 2++2(d)The metal provides vacant orbitals only after the process of hybridisation, thus vacant hybrid orbitals areprovided by the metal ion.(e)The vacant hybrid orbitals of metal ion get overlapped by orbitals of ligands containing lone pair ofelectrons.(f)The number of such overlappings is equal to the coordination number of metal ion.(g)The empty 'd' orbitals involved in hybridisation may be inner (n-1)d or outer \"nd\" orbitals and thesecomplexes are called as Inner orbital complexes and Outer orbital complexes respectively.(h)If inner 'd' orbitals are involved in hybridisation, then it is through only the pairing of unpaired electrons inthe 'd' orbitals of metal ion.(i)Then such type of complexes will be diamagnetic or less paramagnetic and will be called as Lowspin complexes.(j)All outer orbital complexes have paramagnetic nature and they are called as High spin complexes.

Drawback of valence bond theory(a)It describes bonding in co-ordination compounds only qualitatively but not account for the relative stabilitiesfor different co-ordination complexes.(b)It does not offer any explanation for optical absorption spectra (coloration) of complexes(c)It does not describe the detailed magnetic properties of co-ordination compounds.( D )Crystal Field Theory : This is a model of electronic structure of transition-metal complexes that considers howthe energies of the d-orbitals of a metal ion are affected by the electric field of the ligand. According to thistheory.(a)The ligands in a transition-metal complex are treated as point charges.(b)A ligand anion becomes simply a point of negative charge. A neutral molecule, with its electron pair thatit donates to the metal atom, is replaced by a negative charge, representing the negative end of themolecular dipole.(c)In the electric field of these negative charges, the five d orbitals of the metal atom no longer have exactlysame energy. Splitting of five degenerate d-orbitals of the metal ion into sets of orbitals having differentenergies is called crystal field splitting.(d)The extent of splitting of metal d-orbitals depends upon the nature and number of ligands surrounding itand the charge on the central metal ion.(e)The extent of splitting of metal d-orbitals determines the magnetic and spectroscopic properties of thecomplexes.5 .STABILITY OF CO-ORDINATION COMPOUNDS IN SOLUTIONThe term stability can be used in a number of different ways.(a)Thermodynamic stability of a complex : It measures the extent to which this complex is formed fromor is transformed into other complex, under certain conditions when the system, has attained equlibrium.(b)The kinetic stability: It referes to the speed with which transformation occurs which leads to theattainment of equilibrium.According to thermodynamic stability, the reaction between a metal ion and the ligands may be considered as aLewis acid base reaction in solution. If the equilibrium constant is high then the complex obtained istheromodynamically stable in solution. The reaction can be written as follows : M + nL [ML ]nThe stability constant K, of the complex [ML ] is given by the relation, K = nnn[ML ][M][L]. The greater the value of K,more stable is the complex.The strength of a complex ion also depends upon –(i)Higher charge of the central metal ion.(ii)Greater base strength of the ligand.(iii)Ring formation (chelation) in structure of complexes.6 .ISOMERISM IN COMPLEXES(a)Compounds which have the same molecular formula, but differ in their properties due to the difference instructure are called as Isomers.(b)Isomerism is commonly considered, to be the characteristic of only organic compounds, it is also found althoughless frequently among inorganic substances.
