7.You have been given a suspension and true solution. How could you
differentiate between them by their nature, stability and visibility?
Answers
Answer:
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. They are stable in nature.
Explanation:
The difference between sol, solution and suspension are tabulated below
Characteristics Sol Solution Suspension
Mixture Type : Heterogeneous Homogeneous Heterogeneous
Particle size : 10-7 – 10-5cm Less than 1nm More than 100nm
Tyndall effect : Exhibits the Tyndall effect Does not exhibit the Tyndall effect May or may not be exhibited. Depends on the type of mixture
Appearance : Usually glassy and clear Unclouded and clear Cloudy and opaque
Visibility : Visible with an ultramicroscope Not visible Visible with the naked eye
Diffusion : Very slow diffusion Rapid diffusion No diffusion takes place
Stability : Quiet stable Highly stable Unstable
Settling down of the particles : Get settled on centrifugation the mixture Does not settle Settle on their own
Example : Milk, blood, smoke
