Question

A suspension is a homogeneous mixture

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Homogeneous mixtures

• The components present in a mixture are in the same phase, where we can not distinguish the presence of components with our naked eye
• Salt solution, alloy are examples for homogeneous mixture

Heterogeneous mixtures

• The components present in the mixture are generally in a different phase, we can distinguish the presence of components with our naked eye since they remain physically separate
• Suspension is a mixture where particles of comparatively larger size greater are suspended in the medium, where the particles remain separated and can be seen
• The suspended particles settle down at the bottom on standing.
• Sand in water is a good example of a heterogeneous mixture which is a suspension.

Therefore, the given statement is false. i.e.., a suspension is not a homogeneous mixture
