You will be able to distinguishes suspensions form colloids and solutions because the suspensions components will separated. If a beam of light passing through a solution is not visible it is a Colloid.

∙ 13y agoColloid: This is a type of mixture in which one substance is dispersed evenly throughout another, it does not settle out, it is stable though not a homogenous (true) solution.
Suspension: a heterogeneous fluid containing solid particles that are sufficiently large for sedimentation.
This distinguishes a suspension from a colloid, in which the suspended particles are smaller and do not settle.
Colloids and suspensions are different from solutions, in which the dissolved substance (solute) does not exist as a solid, and solvent and solute are homogeneously mixed.

Can mixtures be classified as solutions suspensions or colloids?
By its size
What is the answer to mixtures suspensions colloids and solutions worksheet?
* Mixtures contain two or more compounds.* Suspensions contain solids not soluble in liquids; dimensions are over 1 micrometer. Suspensions also exist in gases.* Colloids have dimensions between 100 nm an 1 micrometer.* Solutions are homogeneous mixtures, generally as liquids.
Do suspensions scatter light?
Yes, colloids scatter light. Colloids are mechanical mixtures; all mechanical mixtures scatter light. Solutions are the only mixtures that do not scatter light. The scattering of light by mixtures is known as the Tyndall effect, btw.
What type of mixture produces the Tyndall effect?
colloids and suspensions

What are the three mixtures?
The three mixtures are: Solutions, Suspensions and Colloids.
What are the three kinds of homogenous mixture?
solutions, colloids and suspensions
How are suspension and solution alike?
how are solutions suspensions and colloids alike
What property do colloids and suspensions have that solutions does not have?
they are able to scatter light
What are three kinds of homogenous mixtures?
solutions, colloids and suspensions
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.
Do homogeneous mixtures include colloids solutions and suspensions?
A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
What factors contribute to the classification of solutions suspensions and colloids?
These factors are:- homogeneity of the solution- dimension of particles
