Question

how does a solution differ from a suspension?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The difference between a solution and a suspension is in the particle sizes involved. A solution is a mixture of ions or molecules (very, very small). Solutions are transparent, meaning that you can see through them. A suspension has bigger particle sizes and so it may look cloudy or murky.

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution:

• A solution mix thoroughly together because the particle of a solid are very tiny.
• The solute particles re dispersed in the solvent as single molecules or ion.
• The diameter of the dispersed particles ranges from 1 A˚ to 10 A˚ .

Example : Saltwater, bleach.

Suspension :

• Suspension doesn’t mix together entirely, or if they do, the particles may become unmixed and fall to the bottom.
• Dispersed particles or solute in suspension are larger than solutes of solution.
• The diameter os these particles is of the order 2000 A˚ or more.

Example : sand stirred ito water, soot in the air.
