Question

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

Answer 1

Sol(Colloidal solution)

Solution

Suspension

1.They are heterogeneous in nature

1.They are homogeneous in nature

1.They are heterogeneous in nature

2. They scatter a beam of light and hence show Tyndall effect.

2. They do not scatter a beam of light and hence do not show Tyndall effect.

2. They do not scatter a beam of light and hence do not showTyndall effect.

3. They are quite stable

3. They are very stable

3. They are unstable

4. Examples of sol are: milk, blood smoke etc.

4. Examples of solution are: salt in water, sugar in water.

4. Examples of suspension are: sand in water, dusty air

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Sol is a heterogeneous mixture. In this mixture, the solute particles are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye. Also, they seem to be spread uniformly throughout the mixture. The Tyndall effect is observed in this mixture. For example: milk of magnesia, mud.
2. Solution is a homogeneous mixture. In this mixture, the solute particles dissolve and spread uniformly throughout the mixture. The Tyndall effect is not observed in this mixture. For example: salt in water, sugar in water, iodine in alcohol, alloy.
3. Suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures. In this mixture, the solute particles are visible to the naked eye, and remain suspended throughout the bulk of the medium. The Tyndall effect is observed in this mixture. For example: chalk powder and water, wheat flour and water.
