Question

The size of particles in suspension is:

• A. >10^-6 m
• B. 10^-7 to 10^-5 m
• C. 10^-9 to 10^-7 m
• D. 10^-9 m

Answer 1

The correct option is A

>10^-6 m

Explanation for the correct option:

(A) >10^-6 m: The diameter of the size of the particles in suspensions is larger than 10^-6 m.

• Suspensions: A heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles remain suspended in the solution.
• These particles can be seen with the naked eye and settle down if left undisturbed for some time.

Hence, option (A) is correct.
