A stable colloidal system made of oil and water. Examples include milk and mayonnaise. The motion of any colloidal particle suspended in a solvent. Colloids don t settle because of the combined effect of the solvation layer and the surface charge around the colloidal particle. A property of a solution that depends only on the number of solute particles and not on the chemical identity of the solute.
Ionic compounds dissociate to more than one mole of particles.
The amount of external pressure necessary to equalize the levels after osmosis. Molarity multiplied by the number of particles produced by each molecule of solute. Two solutions with the same osmolarity. Solutions with an osmolarity and osmotic pressure lower than that of suspended cells. A solution that has a osmolarity and osmotic pressure higher than that of suspended cells.
