Solutions

Colloids and Suspensions


Osmosis and Dialysis

LecturePLUS Timberlake 1
Solutions

Have small particles (ions or molecules)


Are transparent
Do not separate
Cannot be filtered
Do not scatter light.

LecturePLUS Timberlake 2
Colloids

 Have medium size particles


 Cannot be filtered
 Separated with semipermeable membranes
 Scatter light (Tyndall effect)

LecturePLUS Timberlake 3
Examples of Colloids

 Fog
 Whipped cream
 Milk
 Cheese
 Blood plasma
 Pearls
LecturePLUS Timberlake 4
Suspensions
 Have very large particles
 Settle out
 Can be filtered
 Must stir to stay suspended

LecturePLUS Timberlake 5
Examples of Suspensions

 Blood platelets
 Muddy water
 Calamine lotion

LecturePLUS Timberlake 6
Osmosis
In osmosis, the solvent water moves
through a semipermeable membrane

Water flows from the side with the lower


solute concentration into the side with the
higher solute concentration

Eventually, the concentrations of the two


solutions become equal.

LecturePLUS Timberlake 9
Osmotic Pressure

Produced by the number of solute particles


dissolved in a solution
Equal to the pressure that would prevent
the flow of additional water into the more
concentrated solution
Increases as the number of dissolved
particles increase
LecturePLUS Timberlake 10
Osmotic Pressure of the Blood

 Cell walls are semipermeable membranes


 The osmotic pressure of blood cells
cannot change or damage occurs.
 The flow of water between a red blood
cell and its surrounding environment
must be equal

LecturePLUS Timberlake 11
Isotonic solutions
• Exert the same osmotic pressure as red
blood cells.
• Medically 5% glucose and 0.9% NaCl are
used their solute concentrations provide
an osmotic pressure equal to that of red
blood cells
H2O

LecturePLUS Timberlake 12
Hypotonic Solutions
Lower osmotic pressure than red blood cells
Lower concentration of particles than RBCs
In a hypotonic solution, water flows into the
RBC
The RBC undergoes hemolysis; it swells and
may burst.

H 2O
LecturePLUS Timberlake 13
Hypertonic Solutions
Has higher osmotic pressure than RBC
Has a higher particle concentration
In hypertonic solutions, water flows out
of the RBC
The RBC shrinks in size (crenation)

H2O

LecturePLUS Timberlake 14
Dialysis

Occurs when solvent and small solute


particles pass through a semipermeable
membrane
Large particles retained inside
Hemodialysis is used medically (artificial
kidney) to remove waste particles such as
urea from bloodLecturePLUS Timberlake 15
