what does homogeneous suspension mean?
Homogeneous
◆a mixture in which different kinds of mixed uniformly
◆the components of mixture are not visible
◆for example air crude oil .
◆ A homogeneous mixture is a mixture where the components that make up the mixture are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture.
◆ The composition of the mixture is the same throughout.
◆ There is only one phase of matter observed in a homogeneous mixture. So, you wouldn't observe both a liquid and a gas or a liquid and a solid in a homogeneous mixture.
◆ You can't see individual chemicals or ingredients in this type of mixture.
●● Homogeneous Mixture Examples
There are several examples of homogeneous mixtures encountered in everyday life:
● Air
● Sugar water
● Rainwater
● Vodka
● Vinegar
● Dishwashing detergent
● Steel
SUSPENSION:
◆ A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which some of the particles settle out of the mixture upon standing.
◆The particles in a suspension are far larger than those of a solution, so gravity is able to pull them down out of the dispersion medium (water).
◆ The diameter for the dispersed particles in a suspension, such as the sand in the suspension described above, is typically at least 1000 times greater than those in a solution.
◆ Unlike a solution, the dispersed particles can be separated from the dispersion medium by filtering.
◆ Suspensions are considered heterogeneous because the different substances in the mixture will not remain uniformly distributed if they are not actively being mixed.
