Mark the correct statement
(I) A suspension is not visible to the naked eye.
(II) Fine solid particles remain suspended in the medium.
(III) Coarse lime particles are example of a suspension.

• A. I, II, III
• B. I, II
• C. I, III
• D. II, III

Answer 1

The correct option is D II, III

A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which solute particles do not dissolve but remain suspended throughout the bulk of medium. It is a mixture in which very fine particles (size ${10}^{-7}$ or more) of a solid are dispersed in any medium. Muddy pond water and smoke coming out a chimney of a factory, chalk-powder mixture and coarse lime particles in water are examples of suspension.
