Question

Write the five characteristics of suspension.

Answer 1

Answer:

Suspension: 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

1.Suspensions are a heterogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
2.Particles of the solute do not dissolve in the solvent rather they remain suspended in bulk throughout.
3.A suspension is not a solution. There are no chemical bonds between the liquids and the solids in a suspension.
