Question

A true solution is a homogeneous mixture of solute and solvent. Chalk powder in water
is a heterogenous mixture. Is it a true solution?

Answer 1

The chalk powder in water makes a heterogeneous solution and true solutions are only homogeneous.
Thus it is not a true solution

Answer 2

Dear Students,

◆ Answer -

No. It is not a true solution.

● Explaination -

• Chalk powder is not soluble in water.
• Thus, chalk particles are not uniformly dissolved in the water.
• Therefore, chalk powder in water is not a true solution.
• After standing for some time, chalk powder gets precipitated at the bottom. Hence, it is a suspension.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
