Question

Define suspension.

Answer 1

Suspension:

• It is a homogeneous, cloudy, and opaque mixture of a solute and a solvent.
• The particles are visible and the size of particles is greater than 10^-7 m.
• The particles of the suspension settle down at the bottom of the container and do not pass through the filter paper.
• These particles of suspension can scatter light.
• For example: A mixture of mud in water is a suspension because mud particles settle down at the bottom.
