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.
- 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).
