Question

What are the features of suspension?

Answer 1

Suspension:

• A suspension is a mixture of solute and solvent in which the solute particles remain undissolved in the solvent.
• Examples are milk, muddy water as well as oil paints.

Feautres of suspension:

• It is heterogeneous in nature.
• The particle size of the solute is about more than $100\mathrm{nm}$ in diameters.
• The heavier particles get suspended at the bottom while the very tiny particles float in the medium.
• The separation of larger particles in suspension can be done by filtration.
• The particles can be easily seen with a naked eye,
