Is a true solution always transparent?
It will be transparant if it is an aqueous solution. In other
words, if water is the solvent then the solution will be
transparant. The process of dissolvation involves the creation of
intermolecular bonds between the solute particles and the water
molecules. and once dissolved the solute particles remain
surrounded by the water molecules. This situation keeps the
particles spaced far enough apart to allow light to pass through
the solution. If a liquid besides water is used, then it is
possible to have a nontransparant solution, such as crude oil.
