Oil-based paints tend to separate into layers over time. The pigment molecules are suspended in a solvent of linseed oil and mineral spirits. Oil-based paints are suspensions. Water-based paints such as latex paint are colloids.
Salt water and table salt +water are the same thing- a solution. Aluminum, gold and iron are all elements (pure substances) and can not be broken down. Jello is a colloid. Muddy water is a suspension, plus salad dressing. Perhaps sugar could be called a pure substance. But it can be broken down into its' component parts. Tea also.
A true solution is a homogeneous mixture of at least two substances in which the solute has a particle size of less than 1 nm. Example: a simple solution of sugar in water. A colloidal solution is a heterogeneous mixture in which the suspension is between 1 and 1000 nm. Example: smoke from a fire.
No, ranch salad dressing is a mixture composed of various ingredients like buttermilk, herbs, and spices. In chemistry, a solution refers to a homogenous mixture where one or more substances are dissolved in another.
yes because salad dressing is a suspension of vinegar that will separate into layers if left undisturbed.
Yes. All colloids are suspensions but not all suspensions are colloids. A colloidal suspension consists of particles small enough that they will not settle out of the material in which they are suspended. Oil can be emulsified with a surfactant e.g., detergent to form an emulsion, a type of colloidal suspension. An example of this form of oil/water mixture is mayonnaise. Homogenization of the butterfat (oil) in milk prevents the butterfat from layering out as you would see in un-homogenized (straight from the cow) milk. Compare those two systems (mayonnaise and milk) to Italian dressing. No matter how hard or long you shake the bottle, in a short time the oil rises to the top. For a time, the oil was suspended but the droplet size never approached the size needed to form a colloid. See what happens if you put a drop of dishwashing detergent in the bottle of dressing before you shake it...but, don't put it on your salad.
Suspension colliod :)
its a suspension. more specifially a colloid. emulsion.
Short answer: No. A salad dressing is specifically a colloid emulsion (when shaken/prepared), but easily becomes a suspension as the oil and water (in the vinegar) separate over time. On top of that, things like mustard seeds and herbs cause the dressing to become a mixture (as they could be filtered out). A salad in its entirety is a mixture, as the leaves are not dissolved in the dressing. So, salad cannot be a solution and neither is its dressing.

Yes, italian salad dressing is a colloid, because the particles are bigger than that of a solution. a solution is usually transparent.
An example of a solution is salt water. An example of a suspension is Italian salad dressing. An example of a colloid is mayonnaise.
Suspension
Salad dressing contains some kind of oil mixed with vinegar, and these two substances are immiscible; they do not dissolve in each other, although if you mix them together you can get a suspension (which is temporary).
vinaigrette
A suspension is a mixture with small undissolved particles that do not settle out. These particles are typically visible to the naked eye and can be separated from the liquid by filtration. Examples include muddy water and Italian salad dressing.
Salad is considered a suspension because it consists of solid particles (such as lettuce, vegetables, and croutons) suspended in a liquid (such as dressing). In a suspension, the particles are large enough to be seen and do not dissolve in the liquid. Solutions, on the other hand, are homogeneous mixtures where the solute is completely dissolved in the solvent at a molecular level.
