Question

What are suspensions and what are its properties?

Answer 1

A suspension is a heterogeneous system in which the size of solute particle is large (more than1000 nm). As a result, the solute particles do not dissolve in the solvent and settle down at the bottom in the solvent. Therefore the solute particles in a suspension can be easily seen with a naked eye. Example: a mixture of sand in water is a suspension.

properties of suspension are as follows:

Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture.

The particles of a suspension can be seen by the naked eye.

The size of suspended particles is more than 1000nm.

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

The solute particles settle down when a suspension is left undisturbed, that is, a suspension is unstable.

They can be separated from the mixture by the process of filtration.

Answer 2

Heya friend,

Suspensions. They are the hetrogeneous Mixtures in which solute particles do not dissolve and they remain suspended in the mixture.

What are the properties of suspensions?
-Some properties of suspensions are as follows-

•It is a hetrogeneous Mixture.

•Size of the solute particles is more than 100nm.

•Mixture is un-stable. When it is left un-disturbed for sometime, the solute parties settle down under gravity.

•They can scatter the light which falls on them.

•They fab be filtered by normal filter paper.

•The solute particles are visible and they show Brownian movement until they settle down.

•They are either translucent, or opaque, but not transparent.


Can we name some examples of suspensions?
-Yeah, we can. Some of the suspensions are-

*Sand in water.
*Oil in water.
*Chalk powder in water.
