What this is saying relative to what you quote is that when the mixture is agitated, stirred if you will, then left without agitating, it will settle out. That means that you have to keep stirring the mixture for the particles to stay in suspension, that is to not settle out. If you put dirt into a glass of water it will settle out. If you keep stirring it will look uniform because it can't settle out. But when you stop stirring, the dirt being denser than the water will mostly settle out and given enough time most of it will settle out. But by observation means that you can see that the dirt is not settling out, which will be obvious if you have sufficient light shining on it or through it.

A suspension.


When copper sulphat is stirred into a water water turns blue what two tests carry out to see whether this mixture is suspension or a solution?

A suspension is cloudy or will not allow light through, a solution is clear even though it can be colored. One way to test is to shine a light through the water mixture and see if it allows light to come through without breaking it up or dimming it. If it does it's a solution, if not its a suspension.

How is a solution different from a mechnical mixture?

A mechanical mixture is generally considered to be a heterogeneous physical mixture, in which no chemical reactions take place and in which the two or more substances that are mixed can be clearly differenced through observation (it can be aided by a microscope). An example is a mixture of water and oil. A solution, however, is a homogeneous physical mixture, in which no chemical reactions take place, but in which the two or more substances that are mixed together are impossible to distinguish through any form of basic observation, as the components of the mixture are "mixed" at a molecular level. A good example is a mixture of water and sugar.


What is a characteristic of suspension?

hi everyone.its me mayce and this is my answer regarding the characteristics of a suspension..this info should help you. :)mixture of heterogeneousthe suspension particle size range is 10 to the power of -3 to 10 to the power of - 5 cm.suspended particle are able to be seen through without specs.the particles of suspension do not travel through filter paper.through the filtration we can obtained the suspension.the particles of suspension scatter a beam of light passing through it and create its path able to be seen.when the suspension is understurbed the particles of susupension is settle down.

the differences between expectorant and suspension.............expectorant means makes the cough,mucus to coe out and supension is a mixture of fine particle of an undissolved solid distributed through gas,liquid or solid........suspension is a powder medicine mix with water.


Psychologist who conducted their observation through measurement?

Behaviorist psychologists, such as B.F. Skinner, conducted observations through precise measurements of behavior. They used tools like operant conditioning chambers to record and analyze behavioral responses to stimuli in a controlled environment. This quantitative approach allowed them to study how behavior is influenced by reinforcement and punishment.


What can the particles in a solution and a colloid do?

A Colloid is a type of mechanical mixture in which extremely small particles of on or more substances are evenly and stably distributed in one or more others. A Suspension is a mechanical mixture consisting of a liquid or gas with small particles that are distributed through it, but that separate out if the suspension is left undisturbed
