Question

Rahul went to a juice corner to buy a pulpy orange juice. The shop owner told him to shake the juice container well, before drinking it. The mixture in the container is most likely a:

• A. colloid
• B. suspension
• C. solvent
• D. solution

Answer 1

The correct option is B suspension

Pulpy orange juice is an example of a suspension as it contains particles of solid (orange pulp) distributed unevenly in liquid (water).

Here, the solid orange pulp do not get completely dissolved in water. Hence, they settle down at the bottom of the can, when left undisturbed. So, the mixture must be shaken well to distribute the orange pulp all over the juice.
