Question

What are the properties of suspension?

Answer 1

Following are the properties of suspensions:

1. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which some of the particles settle out of the mixture upon standing.
2. The size of the suspension particles are larger than 1000 nanometres and can be seen with the naked eyes.
3. Unlike solutions and colloids, the dispersed particles can be separated from the dispersion medium by filtering.
4. Some of the suspensions scatter light, while others are opaque.
