Introduction

Surface chemistry deals with phenomena that occur at the surfaces or interfaces.

Surface Tension fulfills an outstanding role in the physical chemistry of the surfaces.

Solubility in water increases when the number of OH groups within a molecule increases.

Like dissolves Like, Polar solvent dissolves polar molecule and nonpolar solvent dissolves nonpolar molecules.

Colloidal particles are larger than simple molecules but small enough to remain suspended. There are hydrophilic and hydrophobic colloids

A micelle is an aggregate of surfactant molecules dispersed in a liquid colloid.

Pre-Requisites:

Surface, Interface

Activity:

A sponge has a large surface area and therefore can absorb large amount of liquids.

Real Life Question:

How does a sponge absorb water?

Key Words / FlashCards
Key Words Definitions (pref. in our own words)
Surface tension Surface tension is when the uppermost layer of molecules sticks to each other.
Learning aids / Gadgets
Gadgets How it can be used
Sponge A sponge has pores and holes and therefore has a large surface area for absorption.
Real life uses :

For absorption, filtration etc.

Places to visit :

House, cleaning area.

What you learn in Practice:

Higher surface area means larger interactions.
