Question

what is suspension ? what are properties of suspension ?​

Answer 1

A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which solids are dispersed in liquids. The solute particles in suspension do not dissolve but remain suspended throughout the medium. For example Paints, Muddy water chalk water mixtures etc.

Properties of a Suspension

• Suspension is a heterogeneous Mixture.

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

• 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

$\sf \underline\red { Suspension}$

A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the small particles of a solid are spread throughout a liquid without dissolving in it. Some common examples of suspensions are : Chalk water mixture, Muddy water, Milk of Magnesia, Sand particles suspended in water,and Flour in water.

$\sf \underline\red {Properties \:of \: a \: Suspension}$

• A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture.
• The size of solute particles in a suspension is quite large.It is larger than 100nm in diameter.
• The particles of a suspension can be seen easily.
• The particles of a suspension do not pass through a filter paper.So, a suspension can be separated by filtration.
• The suspension are unstable. The particles of a suspension settle down after some time.
• A suspension scatters a beam of light through it (because its particles are quite large).
