What type of soil will hold the most water clay or silt?
clay because it has the smallest particles thus making it difficult for water to travel through.
Is soil in water a suspension?
No. Seawater is a solution, because the salt dissolves into the water. Unless you are referring to the dirt or fish feces or various other things in the ocean... So the salt is not, the other particles are. A better example would be muddy water, to avoid confusion.
Is baby oil a a pure substance or a mixture?
it is a solution because no particles are visible in it. pure substances are like elements because they are at there smallest form. parts are visible i mixture and easy to separate.
What is silty soil?
Silty clay is a kind of grayish aggregate that is often used in mixtures to make them cheaper. It is an inorganic soil and its particles are very small. It is mainly composed of silt and clay. They use this mixture so that those small particles fill the smallest voids between the other aggregates. It should not be used in an excessive quantity because it will weaken the strength of the mixture
What are the different kinds of mixtures?
Mixtures are substances that are made by physical combination of one or more substances and none of the constituent elements are changed. The basic classification of mixtures is into homogeneous and heterogeneous substances. They can also be further divided under these two categories in to solutions, dispersions or colloids. Air is a homogeneous mixture of the gaseous substances nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of other substances. Salt, sugar, and many other substances dissolve in water to form homogeneous mixtures. A homogeneous mixture in which there is both a solute and solvent present is also a solution. Heterogeneous mixtures include fine sand or silt in water.
Why does pepper and water make a suspension?
The mixture of pepper and water is a suspension because of the particles. You see, a suspension is a mixture in which particles can be seen and easily separated by settling or filtration. Unlike a solution, a suspension does not have the same properties throughout. It contains visible particles that are larger than the particles in solutions or colloids.
Is sand and water a solution colloid or suspension?
No, because the sand particles do not dissolve and in time will settle at the bottom making it a suspension.
Is muddy a suspension or colloid?
Muddy water is a suspension because the particles in a suspension are small, not settled, and separate if left undisturbed like in the most common kind of suspension made of silt and water.
The smallest particles of compounds like water are called?
elements..because.....two elements form a compound
Particles can be filtered from a solution or suspensio?
Yes, but: - solutions pass the filter; - filtering suspensions the insoluble material remain on the filter.
Is muddy water a solution suspension or colloid?
Muddy water is a suspension because the particles in a suspension are small, not settled, and separate if left undisturbed like in the most common kind of suspension made of silt and water.
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
Is dirty water solution colloid or suspension?
Muddy water is a suspension because the particles in a suspension are small, not settled, and separate if left undisturbed like in the most common kind of suspension made of silt and water.
What is the difference between colloids and suspension?
colloids are intermixing of two sol.
What is the smallest part of a ele ment?
You probably mean the smallest part of an atom. That would be an electron, because electrons are the particles making up atoms that are smallest in size.
Why do colloid scattered light?
This is because there are solid particles suspended in the mixture although it is more stable than a suspension.
Is a mixture of sulfur and water a suspension?
Yes, because the particles of sulfur are not dissolved. Each contains enormous numbers of particles even though they seem small to us.
