Question

How are sol solution and suspension different from each other?

Answer 1

SOLUTION:
1. Homogenous mixture.
2. Particles are smaller than 1 nm, they are not visible to the naked eye.

3. They do not scatter a beam of light.
4. Solute particles cannot be separated by the process of filtration and sedimentation.

SOL:
1. Heterogenous mixtures.
2. The size of the particles is too small to seen by the naked eye.
3. They scatter a beam of light passing through them.
4. Solute particles cannot be separated by the process of filtration and sedimentation.

SUSPENSION:
1. Heterogeneous mixtures.
2. Particles are visible to the naked eye.
3. They scatter a beam of light passing through them.
4. Solute particles can be separated by the process of filtration and sedimentation.
