Question

Define suspensions and setting properties of suspension

Answer 1

SUSPENSION -

A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture.

In suspension, the solute particles do not dissolve, but they remain suspended throughout the medium.

Example -

A mixture of sand in water, a mixture of chalk powder in water.

Properties of suspension -

• Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture.

• The particles of suspension can be seen through naked eyes.

• The particles scatter a beam of light passing through it and make path visible.

• The suspension is unstable.

• The solute particles of suspension settle down when left undisturbed, and the suspension breaks and the suspension do not scatter light anymore.

• The solute particles of the suspension can be separated by the process of filtration.
