            PRACTICAL CHEMISTERY
              Exaperiment
1:- Name of Excitement AIM:Prepare colloidal solution (of sol.) starch

APPARATUS
    Two beakers or conical flasks each of 250 CM³ capacity, a funnel, filter paper,  pestle and mortar, glass-rod, tripod stand etc.

MATERIALS
    Starch (soluble )1 g,  distilled water.

THEORY
      Starch forms a stable hydrophillic sol with water at about 100°C. 

PROCEDURE
      Grind about one gram of starch (soluble) with a few cm³ of distilled water to make a thin paste. Pour this paste gradually into about 100 cm³ of boiling water taken in a beaker with constant shaking and stirring with a glass rod.  Boil the contents for about 3-4 minutes and then cool.  Filter the contents though filter paper. The ’filtrate’ is the required starch sol.

PRECAUTIONS
   The apparatus used for preparing the soldiers should be properly cleaned.
​Distilled water should always be used while preparing sols in water.
​constant stirring of the contents in necessary during preparation of the sol.
