Question

Butter, coloured glass and jelly are examples of

• A. unsaturated solution.
• B. saturated solution.
• C. colloid.
• D. supersaturated solution.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

colloid.

• A saturated solution is a solution in which there is so much solute that if there was any more, it would not dissolve.
• An unsaturated solution is a chemical solution in which the solute concentration is lower than its equilibrium solubility. All of the solutes dissolve in the solvent.
• A supersaturated solution remains solvated even with extra solid once it is cooled.
• A colloid is a mixture in which particles of an insoluble substance are dispersed in another substance.
• A size of suspended particles in a colloid can range from 1 to 1000 nm (10^-9m).
• Examples - whipped cream, butter, gelatin paper, mayonnaise, etc.
