Question

Arrange the following mixtures in the decreasing order of their particle sizes.​

• A. iii > ii > i​
• B. ii > iii > i​
• C. i > ii > iii​

Answer 1

The correct option is A iii > ii > i​

Here, we have to arrange given mixtures in the decreasing order of their particle size.

Sugar in water is an example of a solution and we know that the size of particles in a solution is less than 1nm.

Milk is an example of a colloid and particles of these mixtures have size ranging from 1-1000 nm.

Chalk in water is an example of a suspension and these mixtures have particles of size more than 1000 nm.

The correct order of size of particles is chalk in water > milk > sugar in water.
