a mixture of soil and water was shaken well and then tested for its appearance stability and sedimentation What could be observation in this experiment
Answers
Answer:
I think that 1st we have to find that whether the mixture of solids and water Is true solution/suspension/colloid
Answer:
A suspension is a cloudy and heterogeneous mixture. The particles are larger than the particles of the solution and can be filtered. A suspension settles when it is allowed to stand for some time. The particles can be seen with naked eyes.
Explanation:
Solution: It is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. Solutions can be solid solutions
e.g. alloys; liquid solutions e.g. lemonade and gaseous solutions e.g. air. A solution is made up of solute and solvent.
Solute: The component of the solution that is dissolved in the solvent is called the solute.
Solvent: The component of the solution that dissolves the other component in it is called the solvent.
It is the amount of solute present in a given amount of solution. Amount of solute
Concentration of solution = -----------------------------
A solution is always transparent, light passes through it without scattering as the solute particles are very small in size. The solution is homogeneous and does not settle. A solution cannot be filtered but can be separated using the process of distillation. For example, a solution of sugar in water.
