Question

how are sol,solution and suspension different from each other ?

Answer 1

SOLUTION:
 1.Homogenous mixture.
 2.Particles are smaller than 1 nm ,they are not visible to naked eye.
 3.They do not scatter a beam of light.
 4. Solute particles cannot be separated by the process of filtration and sedimentation.

SOL:
1.Heterogenous mixtures.
2.The size of the particles is to small to seen by naked eye.
3.They scatter a beam of light passing through them.
4.Solute particles cannot be separated by the process of filtration and sedimentation.

SUSPENTION:
1.Heterogeneous mixtures.
2.Particles are visible to naked eye.
3.They scatter a beam of light passing through them.
4.Solute particles can be separated by the process of filtration and sedimentation.

Answer 2

Sol and solution are stable while the suspension is unstable.

• Sol is a colloid of solid particles in a liquid.
• It is heterogeneous.
• Sols are clear and glassy and are visible with an ultramicroscope.
• It exhibits the Tyndall effect
• Gets settled on centrifugation
• Example: Blood, milk
• The solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more substances.
• The solution is clouder and unclear and not visible to the naked eye.
• It does not exhibit the Tyndall effect.
• It is stable so will not settle on standing.
• Eg: salt solution and sugar solution.

• Suspension is a heterogenous mixture where solute particles do not dissolve but get suspended throughout the bulk of the substance.

• It is cloudy and opaque and not visible to the naked eye.
• They settles on their own.
• eg: muddy water, chalk in water.
