Colloids
Aside from applying colloids in our life, colloids have importance too. Exmaple of this are:
1. Used as Liquid Constituent of Human Blood (Ex: Plasma in our Blood)
2. Used as deodorizers (Ex: Albatross in CR)
3. Used in preparing food (Ex: Mayonnaise)
4. Used as absorbent (Ex: Production of Rice Wine)
5. Used as Aerosol Propellant (Ex: Air Freshener)
Aside from the given example, there are some examples by which colloids is harmful. One of those is some colloids cause pollution in the environment.Some colloids release CFC's that contributes to the ozone layer depletion. Inspite of having a harmful side effects of colloids, scientists discovered it because it can also be used in some invention.
Solution
Most chemical reactions, both in nature and in the laboratory, take place in a solution. For ionic chemicals, it is the polarity of the solvent (usually water) which allows the separation of the ions so that the reaction can take place. For non-polar chemicals, the solvent (often a non-polar one) allows for the chemicals to come into contact with one another and to regulate the speed at which the reaction takes place. All biological chemistry depends upon reactions which take place in water (as a solvent). This is especially true of reactions involving enzymes.
