what is suspension? state the properties of colloid
Answers
Answer:
Suspensions and colloids are heterogeneous mixtures. A suspension is identifiable because its particles are large and settle out of the dispersing medium due to the effects of gravity. The dispersed particles of a colloid are intermediate in size between those of a solution and a suspension.
Explanation:
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the small particles of a solid are spread throughout a liquid without dissolving in it.The size of particles in a suspension is larger than 10 raised power minus 5
A colloid appears to be homogenous but actually it is heterogeneous.
A colloid cannot be separated by filtration
The particles of a colloid do not separate out on keeping hence are quite stable
A colloid scatters a beam of light passing through it
