Chapter 18 Laboratory: Colloids and Suspensions 323q: 3 Lunar gravity is about one-sixth Earth’s gravity. Might a sample that exhibits the characteristics of a suspension on the moon
exhibit the characteristics of a colloid on Earth? Why?
q: 4 Some samples are difficult to classify, because their physical properties are intermediate or mixed between the characteristics
of solutions, colloids, and suspensions listed in Table 18-2 (for example, they may separate under the force of gravity, but very, very
slowly). Why do some samples display such intermediate/mixed properties?
q: 5 Consider a mixture of a solid material in water that clearly exhibits the properties of a suspension. If you created a similar
mixture, but using a different continuous medium (such as vegetable oil), might that mixture behave as a colloid? Why?
