Question

Which is more stable?

• A. True Solution
• B. Suspension

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True Solution

Explanation for the correct option:

(A) : True Solution

• True solutions do not settle down because the particles are almost homogeneous in size and stay stable.
• It is translucent and clear and does not exhibit the Tyndall effect.
• Since the size of both the solute and the solvent is far smaller than the pores of filter paper, true solutions cannot be separated by filtering.

Explanation for the incorrect option:

(B): Suspension

• Heterogeneous mixtures make up suspensions.
• When the suspension is allowed to sit for a while, the heavier, bigger, and less mobile particles sink to the bottom owing to gravity.
• Suspension is not steady as a result.
• If left unattended for a certain amount of time, the particles in suspension do not mix properly and also settle down.

Therefore, the correct option is Option (A), True Solution is more stable.
