Describe about condensation methods of preparation of colloids. (OR) Describechemical methods of preparation of colloids.

Answer»

Solution :When the substance for colloidal particle is present as small sized particle, molecule or ion, they are brought to the colloidal dimension by condensation methods.
(i) Oxidation METHOD:- When hydroiodic acid is treated with iodic acid `I_(2)` sol is obtained.
`HIO_3 + 4HI to 3H_2O _ 3I_(2"(sol)")`
(ii) Reduction method:- Gold sol is prepared by reduction of auric chloride using formaldehyde.
`2AuCl_3 + 3HCHO + 3H_2O to 2Au_("(sol)") + 6HCl + 3HCOOH`
iii) Hydrolysis:- FERRIC chloride is hydrolysed to get ferric hydroxide colloid
`FeCl_3 + 3H_2O to Fe(OH)_3 "(sol)" +3HCl`
(iv) DOUBLE decomposition:- When hydrogen sulphide gas is passed through a solution of arsenic oxide, a YELLOW coloured arsenic sulphide is obtained as a colloidal solution.
`As_2O_3 + 3H_2S to As_2 S_3 + 3H_2O`
(v) Decomposition:- When few drops of an acid is added to a dilute solution of sodium thiosulphate, sulphur colloid is PRODUCED by the decomposition of sodium thio sulphate.
`S_2O_3^(2-) +2H^(+) to S_("(sol)") + H_2O + SO_2`
