What is a mixture made up of particles whose size is between those in solutions and those in suspensions and that are suspended in a liquid solid or gas?
colloid
What is the main difference between solutions suspension and colloids?
A Suspension is a mixture in which particles of a material are more or less evenly dispersed throughout a liquid or gas, a Colloid is a mixture in which the particles are dispersed throughout but are not heavy enough to settle out, and a solution is a uniform mixture that contains a solvent and at least one solute.
Is it true that a solution consists of a solute and a solvent?
Yes, in a solution the solute is what is what is becoming dispersed - solute particles in solutions are the smallest (compared to those in suspensions or colloids) and can include ions, atoms, or molecules. The solvent is what dissolves the solute in a solution, and is usually H2O or some other liquid.
Similarities between colloids and suspensions?
actually , it is hard to know their similarities.. I can tell you there differences ..SPELLING , PRONOUNCIATION , MEANING !
Does the particles in colloids filter?
It depends on the colloid, really. If there are solid particles in the colloid, then they can be filtered. But you would need an extremely fine filter to be able to do so. In the case that the particles are liquid, then the answer would be no.
What kind of mixture is a colloids?
A colloid is a mixture of solid particles suspended in a liquid.
How do particles in solutions differ from those in suspension?
The dispersed particles of a suspension are larger than the particles of a colloid.
Why paints are colloids?
the solid particles in these colloids are mixed with the particles of a liquid. the dispersed particles do not dissolve into the liquid therefore the particles do not settle.
What is similar between solutions and colloids?
solutions is a mixture that is dissolved and so is a colloid which is suspened in a liquid.
What is a mixture made up of particles whose size is between those in solutions and those in suspensions and that are suspended in a liquid solid or gas?
colloid
What are 3 key words related to suspension?
- the grain size of the suspended particles - the concentration of the suspended particles - the density of the suspended particles - the nature of the liquid (density, viscosity)
What is a mechanical mixture or a solution?
Milk is neither - it is an emulsified colloid of liquid butterfat globules dispersed within a water-based liquid. They are different, because particles of colloids are larger (size: diameter of between approximately 5 and 200 nanometers) than those of solutions. So, the particles of the solute in the solution get between the solvent particles and hence completely dissolve. But owing to the large size of the colloid particles, they are unable to get between the solvent particles and hence remain suspended, and though the colloid still looks homogeneous it is actually heterogeneous.the souvent of the liquid is lard meaning that it can be absorbed by lard

What are the similarities of colloids and suspension?
Colloid: A solid which is dispersed amongst a liquid. The solid particles do not settle. Not a solution, because the solid is not dissolved, it is dispersed. Solution: A Mixture of a liquid with a solid dissolved in it. Not a Colloid.
How are colloids and suspensions alike?
colliods and suspentions are alike becuase both of there particles can be dispersed through the liquid
What do solutions suspensions and colloids have in common?
They are all something in something else. Suspensions are colloids. Colloids are something small dispersed in something else - solids in liquids (a suspension), gases in liquids, gases in solids etc etc Solutions are one phase - a liquid, but at least 2 compounds make up that phase.
ARE PARTICLES IN COLLOIDS SOLUBLE?
No, one common type of colloid is an emulsion and it is a mixture of a liquid in a liquid where one does not dissolve in the other. A substance that does not dissolve is insoluble.
