Preparation of Starch and Ferric Hydroxide Sols
Preparation of Starch and Ferric Hydroxide Sols
A colloid is not a substance, but it depicts a particular state of a substance that depends upon the size of
its particles. The size of a particle in a colloidal system is between 1-100 nm. A colloidal system is a two
phase heterogeneous system in which one phase is called the dispersed phase and the other is called the
dispersion medium. In sols, the dispersed phase is solid and dispersion medium is liquid. Depending upon
the nature of the interaction between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium sols can be classified
into two types.
Materials Required : Soluble starch, Distilled water, 250 ml beaker, 50 ml beaker , Glass rod ,
Funnel , Filter-paper , Pestle and mortar , Tripod stand, Wire-gauze,

Procedure
> Transfer the weighed quantity of starch into a mortar and add few drops of distilled water.

AIM: To prepare ferric hydroxide sol ( Lyophobic)
Theory: Ferric hydroxide forms lyophobic sols on treatment with water. Ferric hydroxide sol is prepared by
the hydrolysis of ferric chloride with boiling distilled water. The reaction takes place is as follows.
Boiled
FeCl3 (aq)
+ 3 H 2O Fe(OH) 3 (s) + 3 HCl (aq)
Red sol
The hydrolysis reaction produces insoluble ferric hydroxide particles which undergo agglomerisation to
yield bigger particles of colloidal dimensions. These particles absorb Fe3+ ions preferentially from the
solution to give positive charge to the sol particles. Stability of sol is due to the charge on the sol particles.
Hydrochloric acid produced during hydrolysis must be removed from the sol because it destabilizes the
sol. HCl can be removed from the sol by dialysis process otherwise sol will not be stable.
Materials Required : 2% solution of ferric chloride , Distilled water , 250 ml conical flask , 250 ml
beaker , Glass tube , Funnel , Dropper , RB flask , Iron stand with clamp ,
Wire gauze , Tripod stand , Bunsen burner
Procedure
> Take a 250 ml conical flask and clean it using the steaming out process.
> To this cleaned conical flask, add 100 ml of distilled water using a measuring cylinder.
> Bring the water to boil by placing the flask over a Bunsen burner.
> Add ferric chloride solution dropwise to the boiling water using a dropper.
> Continue heating until a deep red or brown solution of ferric hydroxide is obtained.
> Note: Replace the water lost by evaporation during boiling at regular intervals.
> Keep the contents of the conical flask undisturbed for some time at room temperature.
> Label the solution as Ferric Hydroxide Sol.

Theory
Inorganic compounds are substances that do not come from living things. They are formed by non-living
natural processes or by laboratory preparation methods. The branch of chemistry that deals with the
behaviour and properties of inorganic compounds is called Inorganic Chemistry. Inorganic compounds are
found in nature in the form of minerals.

Distilled water , Beakers , China dish , Funnel , Glass rod , Tripod stand ,
Wire gauze , Burner , Wash bottle , Measuring jar , Electronic balance
Procedure
> We’ll first take 7g ferrous sulphate 3.5g ammonium sulphate in a clean 250ml beaker.
> To this add about 2-3ml of [Link] acid to prevent the hydrolysis of ferrous sulphate.
> Add the boiling hot water to the contents in the first beaker in small quantities at a time.
> Stir the contents of the beaker with a glass rod until the salts have completely dissolved.
> Now heat the solution in the china dish until its crystallisation point is reached. Then transfer the
solution into a crystallising dish and keep it undisturbed.

AIM: To Separate the coloured components present in the extract of spinach leaves by ascending paper
chromatography and find their Rf values.
Theory
In the chromatographic technique, the mixture of substances is applied onto a phase called the stationary
phase. The stationary phase may be solid or liquid. A moving phase that can be a pure solvent or a
mixture of solvents, or a gas is allowed to move slowly over the stationary phase. This moving phase is
called the mobile phase. When the mobile phase is moved over the mixture on the stationary phase, the
components of the mixture gradually separates from one another.
Materials Required : Chromatographic chamber with lid , Measuring jar, whatman filter paper strip,
isopropyl alcohol, glass rod, fine capillary tube, distilled water , extract of spinach leaves, pencil , scale.
Procedure
> Take a Whatman filter paper strip and using a pencil draw a horizontal line 4cm from one end of
the paper. Then draw another line lengthwise (verticallly) from the centre of the paper. Name the
point at which the two lines intersect as P.
> Using a fine capillary tube, put a drop of the extract of spinach leaves at the point P.
Let it dry in air.
> Put another drop on the same spot and dry again, so that the spot is rich in the leaf extract.
> Pour equal amounts of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water into a chromatographic chamber and
mix it well using a glass rod. This is used as the solvent.
> Suspend the filter paper vertically in the chromatographic chamber containing the solvent in such
a way that the pencil line remains about 2cm above the solvent level.
> Close the jar with its lid and keep it undisturbed.
> Notice the rising solvent along with the coloured components of the leaf extract.
> After the solvent has risen to about 15 cm you will notice two different spots of coloured
components on the filter paper.
> Take the filter paper out of the jar and using a pencil mark the distance that the solvent has risen
on the paper. This is called the solvent front.
> Dry the filter paper and put pencil marks at the centre of each spot.
> Measure the distance of each spot from the original line and the distance of the solvent front
from the original line.
> Calculate the Rf values of different components of leaf extract by using the formula :

AIM : Kinetics Study on the Reaction between Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid
Theory :
The effect of concentration of the reactant on the rate of a reaction can be studied easily by the reaction
between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid.
Na 2SO 3
+ 2 HCl S (s) + 2 NaCl (s) + SO 2
+ H2O
Sodium thiosulphate reacts with dilute acid to produce sulphur dioxide, sulphur and water. Sulphur dioxide
is a soluble gas and dissolves completely in aqueous solution. The sulphur formed however is insoluble
and exist in the mixture as a white or pale yellow precipitate or a colloid that gives a milky appearance and
makes the solution opaque. Therefore the rate of the reaction can be studied by monitoring the
opaqueness of the reaction. This can be easily done by measuring the time taken (t) for forming a certain
amount of sulphur.
Materials Required : Burettes , Conical flasks , Stop-watch , 0.1M sodium thiosulphate (Na2S2O3)
Procedure
> Take five clean conical flasks and label them as A, B, C, D and E respectively.
> Add 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 ml of 0.1M sodium thiosulphate solution to the flasks A, B, C, D and E
respectively.
> Then add 40, 30, 20 and 10ml of distilled water to the flask A, B, C and D respectively so that
volume of solution in each flask is 50ml.
> When half of the HCl solution has been added to the conical flask, start the stop- watch
immediately.
> Shake the contents of the conical flask and place it on a white tile that has a cross mark at the
centre.
> Go on observing from the top of the flask and stop the stop-watch when the cross marks just
becomes invisible. Note down the time.
> Repeat the experiment by adding 10ml of 1M HCl to flasks B, C, D and E respectively and
record the time taken in each case for the cross to become just invisible.
