Question

What are the properties of suspension?

Answer 1

Suspension:

• A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of solute and solvent where the solute particles do not get dissolved in the solvent.
• Examples are muddy water, chalk powder, and a mixture of dust.

Properties of suspension:

• The size of solute particles in a suspension is larger in diameter. It is more than$100\mathrm{mm}$.
• It is unstable in nature as its particles settled down over time.
• One can easily see the particles in suspension with naked eyes.
• In suspension, since the particles are non-dissolvable thus they can be separated by using filter paper.
