(213 cards)
What is a homogenous dispersion?
A molecular dispersion
What is a heterogenous dispersion?
The dispersed phase (usually a particle of some type) is physically distinguishable from the dispersion medium
What is the components of a dispersion?
- Dispersed phase
- Dispersion media
What is dispersed phase?
The internal or continuous phase of a dispersion
What is the dispersion media?
External or continuous phases of a dispersion
How are dispersions classified?
- Phase
- Particle size
What are the dispersions of solid phases?
- Suppositories and medicaition sticks
- Gels
- Solid form
What are the dispersions of liquid phases?
- Crystal suspensions
- Emulsions
- Foams
What are the dispersions of gas phases?
- Smoke, aerosols, spray powder, inhalation dry powder
- Mist, unevaporated liquid sprays
What are the phase categories of dispersions?
- Solid
- Liquid
- Gas
What are the particle size categories of dispersions?
Colloidal dispersion (0.1 – 1000 nm)
Coarse dispersion (1 -200 micrometer)
What are the colloidal dispersion types?
- Lyophillic
- Lyophobic
- Association
What does it mean to be lyophilic?
- Solute has a strong affinity for medium
- Has polar regions from ionizable functional groups
How does having a polar region affect lyophilic colloids?
Enables hydration in aqueous environments
What are examples of lyophilic colloids?
- Proteins: albumin, gelatin
- Polysaccharides: natural gums, cellulose derivatives
What is a colloidal solution?
Macromolecular dispersions that are solvated by the medium
What is crystalloid solution?
Small molecule dispersion that are solvated by the medium
What states are hydrophilic colloids found in?
Solid or gel state
What is the difference between a sol and gel state?
In sol state, molecules move freely in solution
In gel state, molecules form connected networks resulting in increased viscosity
What is lyophobic?
Compounds lack polar groups to give them surface hydrophilicity
What are examples of lyophobic colloids?
Milk, lipid emulsions, nanocrystal suspensions
What is the problem of having hydrophobic colloids?
Tendency to aggregate
What is the predominate plasma protein?
Albumin
What is association colloid?
Formed by association of dissolved particles into a substance in the colloidal size range.
