Question

How are sol, solution and
suspension different from each
other?​

Answer 1

Answer:

______________________

♦ Solution ♦

✔A solution is a homogeneous mixture.

✔The size of solute particles is less than 10^-7cm.

✔The solute particles are not visible with the naked eye.

✔Solutions pass through the filter paper as a whole.

✔The solutions are very stable. The solute particles do not settle down on keeping.

✔Solutions do not show Tyndall effect.

♦ SOL or Coilloidal Solution ♦

✔A Sol appears to be homogeneous but is actually heterogeneous.

✔The size of colloidal particles is between 10^-4cm and 10-7cm.

✔Colloidal particles are not visible with the naked eye or a simple microscope.

✔Sols also pass through a filter paper.

✔Sols are also very stable. The colloidal particles do not settle on standing.

✔Sols scatter light and hence, show Tyndall effect.

♦ Suspension ♦

✔It is a heterogeneous mixture.

✔The size of suspended particles is 10^-3cm or more.

✔The suspended particles are visible to the naked eye.

✔The suspended particles are retained over the filter paper.

✔Suspensions are unstable. The suspended particles settle down on standing.

✔Suspensions may show Tyndall effect.
