a question on chemistry. is silver sol in water an example of lyophillic sol??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's an example of a lyophobic solution since it's related to platinum, Iron and all the other inorganic substances' family ^_^ I'm not sure though. Hope it helps :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the answer is no. but i dont understand why.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm, silver solution in water eh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well there's only one way to find out why. Try mixing silver in water

OpenStudy (anonymous):

check if it's going to collide with water without additional stabilizers , if so, then it's lyophilic, if not , then it's lyophobic :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm serious ._. if you want to know why? experiement and you'll get a result , from that result everything will be clear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm, or you can tell from the property of silver. Can the silver solution be reversible? if yes = lyophilic, if not = lyophobic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well lyophilic collids are highly solvated. and after conducting the experimnt i found it otherwise. so thats the reason i guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and ask yourself this question, is it reversible?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm... thats a very good point star..(pun not intended) no it aint reversible..=)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or is it??O_O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it's lyophobic o_o? LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol >_>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

God!! I hate chemistry!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't say that! Calm down and think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL o_o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL!! You're talking to me?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't even bother to read the question, as I Knew it's in chemistry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the solution is reversible then the left parts can be converted into another solution and the vice versa, and yes I was talking to you! I thought that was deeprony screaming lol >_<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my apologies, I just saw someone screaming and I assumed it was deeprony ^_^ lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got it. lyophilic sols are reversible. bot silver sol is not reversible so silver sol in water is not an example of lyophillic sol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

chemistry is beautiful ~ though lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope ~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can the silver change into another solution once the liquid has been evaporated?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ofcourse with the additon of liquid?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tion*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm... no.. so then its reversible??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, so that means it's not reversible. Reversible = can be converted to a different solution, but since silver solution in water can't then it's lyophobic LOL I said that in the beginning >_<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I gtg soon ^_^ , but did you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

man m gettin confused! how is this-->"lyophilic sols are reversible. bot silver sol is not reversible so silver sol in water is not an example of lyophillic sol" different from what you said??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol exactly! it's not :D I'm sorry abt the confusion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't call me mam LOL :P :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sigh! ok so u leavin?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you get it though? ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whn did i call you mam??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you just did up there LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait a min, lol >_< omg I need rest, that was "man" :D!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i got it!=) thnx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o_o oh dear lol np :) good luck! good night ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gud luck 2 u 2.. good note. au revoir

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*nite lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

au revoir ^_^ thx lol, and I'm sorry again >_<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh dnt mind it
