Open in App

Solution

Difference between Colloidal solution and suspension are -
Property
Colloidal solution
Suspension
Particle size Between $10^{- 7} c m t o 10^{- 5} c m$ More than $10^{- 5} c m$
Nature of mixture Heterogeneous mixture Heterogeneous mixture
Appearance Translucent Cloudy
Filtration Solute particles can pass through the filter paper Solute particles can by separated from solvent by filtration
Sedimentation Solute particles do not settle down Solute particles settle down and can be separated
Effect of heating Solute particles can not be separated by evaporation on heating Solute particles can be separated on heating as solvent will evaporate and solute particles will left behind.
