    Is it possible to physically separate colloids from sol'n?

    I understand that colloids (at least those less than 0.7 um in diameter) are not filterable using conventional filters. But are there other physical separation methods that can separate them from solution, apart from using membranes? Centrifugation perhaps? I just want some confirmation. Thank you!

    Understanding Hetero and Homo Mixtures for Chemistry Beginners

    I've just recently started relearning chemistry. Forgive me for asking such a basic question, but my textbook doesn't use very practical examples with a detailed explanation. So a hetero and homo mixture can be classified as if there compositions (multiple substances) are blended or not. Let's...

    Where Can I Find Reliable Solubility Data for Various Mixtures and Temperatures?

    HI, Do you have any suggestion for a good solubility database? I tried IUPAC-NIST but I can't find the data I need there (water-toluene, water-hexane, water-MEK mixtures at 40°C). I am also looking for the densities of the pure solvents at 40°C. Thank you

    Can Boric Acid or Detergents Increase the Density of Silicone Oil?

    Hi everyone, I am looking for a way to densify silicone oil. Foolishly, I tried to dissolve Calcium Chloride but as well all know, salt will not dissolve in oil. If anyone has any knowledge as to how I can increase the density of silicone oil I would greatly appreciate your input.

    Is the Reduced Spin State of an Entangled Particle an Improper Mixture?

    Hi there -- can anyone give me, or point me to, an argument that the reduced state density matrix corresponding to one of a pair of entangled particles is an `improper mixture' -- that is, that the particle with that reduced state (a reduced spin state, say) cannot be understood as being in some...
