Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is The particles of a suspension can be seen by the naked eye..
Key Points
- A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which solid particles do not dissolve in a liquid solution.
- The particles in a suspension are large enough to be seen with the naked eye.
- When left undisturbed, the particles in a suspension will eventually settle to the bottom due to gravity.
- The particles in a suspension can be separated from the liquid by filtration or decantation.
Additional Information
- Colloid:
- A colloid is a mixture where very small particles of one substance are distributed evenly throughout another substance.
- Unlike suspensions, colloids do not settle out upon standing, and the particles cannot be seen with the naked eye.
- Solution:
- A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
- The solute is the substance that is dissolved, and the solvent is the substance in which the solute is dissolved.
- Solutions are transparent and do not scatter light.
- Emulsion:
- An emulsion is a type of colloid formed by combining two liquids that normally don't mix.
- Common examples include milk and mayonnaise.
- Decantation:
- Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures by removing a liquid layer that is free of precipitate.
- This method is commonly used to separate suspensions.
