Chapter 126: Dissolve

Solubility and concentration are similar concepts, but they are fundamentally different. Solubility refers to the dissolution of solid particles in water, specifically solids.

Concentration refers to the amount of liquid in water, specifically liquid. Sometimes, though, they can refer to each other.

Of course, mixtures are called solutions. When I looked up the related, I found an error. Protein powders turn into colloids when exposed to water, rather than solutions.

The diameter of the particles in the solution is larger than the diameter of the particles in the colloid, and the colloids are capable of the Tyndall effect.

。 I'm thinking about the question, why does solid powder dissolve? We know that protein powder and water form colloids, while glucose and water form solutions.

But where did the powder go? As can be seen from the colloid, the powder is dispersed everywhere in the water.

Essentially, there is not much difference between colloids and solutions. Therefore, the same goes for the powder in solution.

We know that the particles in colloids are larger than 1 nanometer, and the diameter of the atoms is 0.1 nanometers.

Therefore, it is impossible for particles to enter the inside of atoms. In addition to atoms, isn't the larger order molecules?

Encyclopedia says that the diameter of the molecule is 0.1 nanometers. It's the same as the diameter of an atom. Some molecules have only one atom, so it is understandable that they are the same as the atomic diameter.

However, it is a general molecule. Molecules are inorganic and organic, and organic biological macromolecules can reach a few millimeters in diameter.

Therefore, it cannot be accepted in its entirety. There is no doubt that the diameter of the particles of the colloidal must be larger than the diameter of the atom, so is it larger than the molecule?

We know that protein molecules are biological macromolecules, and glucose molecules are also biological macromolecules. Although the particles of protein powder are small, they are more than 1 micron in diameter, and the same is true for glucose particles.

The problem is that glucose actually forms a solution, and the particles in the solution are less than 1 nanometer in diameter.

What does this mean? Glucose particles are inevitably eroded by water and constantly decomposed. Why? Because solid particles have very small pores, they are not easy to detect when the solids are large.

As the diameter of the solids decreases, these pores cause the solid particles to be permeated by water everywhere. In the American drama "Prison Break", the hero uses a whisk to constantly punch holes in several key parts of the wall.

As a result, the wall was pushed to the ground. It's the same here. Due to the excessive number of pores, the solid particles cannot withstand it and cause it to decompose.

The question is why glucose becomes a solution when exposed to water, while proteins become colloids when exposed to water. I bought five pounds of glucose and it doesn't look like much.

And buying a pound of protein is a lot. Is this a delusion? I think it's because glucose is less dense than protein.

A glucose particle absorbs less water than a protein particle, but it touches more water than a protein particle.

Why is that? First, an object absorbs and then expands. Then, it breaks down again. Most of the water that was absorbed is returned to the water body, so the total amount absorbed in the end is very small.

Sometimes, I find that solid powders are sticky. Because of this, it de-adheres to water molecules.

The viscosity increases as the diameter of the particles decreases, and the penetration of water eventually causes the solid particles to become smaller and smaller.

Protein particles turn into colloids when exposed to water, I think because they are not as viscous as glucose particles.
