Question

Which of the following is an example of suspension?

• A. Dettol in water
• B. Salt in water
• C. Alcohol in water
• D. Flour in water

Answer 1

The correct option is D Flour in water

A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture.​

The size of solute particles in a suspension is quite large. It is larger than 1000 nm.​

The particles of a suspension can be seen easily.​

The particles of a suspension do not pass through a filter paper. So a suspension can be separated by filtration.​

The suspension is unstable. The particles of a suspension settle down after some time.

All others are solutions except a mixture of flour in water, which satisfies all the above mentioned conditions.
