A suspension is a ___ mixture in which very fine particles of solid are dispersed in any medium.

• A. A homogeneous mixture in which very fine particles of solid are dispersed in any medium.
• B. A heterogeneous mixture in which very fine particles of solid are dispersed in any medium.
• C. A supersaturated mixture in which very fine particles of solid are dispersed in any medium.
• D. A unsaturated mixture in which very fine particles of solid are dispersed in any medium.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

A heterogeneous mixture in which very fine particles of solid are dispersed in any medium.

A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which solute-like particles settle down some-time after their introduction. It is also defined as a heterogeneous mixture in which very fine particles of solid are dispersed in any medium. For example, sand in water. The particles of sand eventually settle down if left undisturbed.
