How can you tell the difference between a solution and a clear colloid?

Solutions are mixtures on an atomic or molecular level; the mixture is so fine grained that you could never see it with a microscope. All you would see is a homogeneous substance. Colloidal suspensions contain tiny particles that you might be unable to see with the unaided eye, but which you could see with a microscope.

∙ 12y agoa colloid contains larger particles than a solution. the particles are still too small to be seen easily, but are large enough to scatter a light beam

What is the difference between a clear solution and a colorless solution in chemistry?
A solution can still contain color, but also be clear. Take a pool for example, the water is slightly blue but you can still see through it. A colorless solution is when there is no color, like water in a store bought water bottle.
How do you distinguish between copper sulphate solution sodium chloride solution sodium nitrate solution or sodium sulphate solution?
copper sulphate solution-blue sodium chloride (salt) solution-clear sodium nitrate solution- white to clear sodium sulphate solution- white copper sulphate solution-blue sodium chloride (salt) solution-clear sodium nitrate solution- white to clear sodium sulphate solution- white
What is the difference between base and soap?
There is no clear difference between base and soap because soap is a base.
What is the difference between crystal clear and translucent caulk?
One is crystal clear, and one is translucent.
How can a torch be used to test a colloid?
A colloid is cloudy and thick and will not allow light to pass through, whereas a suspension is clear and transparent and lets light pass through it.
What is the difference between true and colloid solution?
Colloid is not a true solution they both differ from each other. Colloid is a kind of solution that scatters a beam of light passing through it and renders it path visible while a True solution is a kind of solution that scatters a beam of light passing through it and renders it path visible .
Is milk a solution a suspension or a colloid?
A colloid. It is not a solution - that would be clear because one compound is dissolved by the other. It is not a suspension - a suspension is solid particles mixed with a liquid
How can you tell wheather a mixture and water is a souluton or colloid?
A colloid is frequently opalescent and has more than one phase; the dimension of particles is in the range 1 nm-1μm.A true solution has only one phase and is clear.
