No. Turpentine does not sink in water. Like many oil based organic solvents, turpentine floats in pure water. Engineers and scientists use a measurement called Specific Gravity to measure how dense a liquid is in comparison to that of water. Pure turpentine has a Specific Gravity of 0.85(@25 deg Celsius). On the other hand, water has a specific gravity of 1.0. That means that turpentine at will eventually float to the top of a water bath.

What happens to the particles in a suspension if they are not being mixed?
These particles will settle to the bottom of the container.
Why do some mixed with solvents settle at the bottom of the container?
Some substances, when mixed with solvents, have a higher density than the solvent. This causes them to sink to the bottom due to gravity. Additionally, some substances may form insoluble precipitates or aggregates that are denser than the solvent, leading to settling at the bottom of the container.
When a powder is mixed with a liquid and some of the powder settles at the bottom is it a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
It is heterogeneous since some of the powder settled to the bottom. If all the powder had mixed in, it would be homogeneous.
Why would mixtures of gasses rarely form colloids?
bcuz they are gas and the particles do not settle so it would be hard for gas to be a colloid.
What do you think would happen if you mixed two suspensions?

What would happen is you mixed turpentine with bleach?
Same thing as mixing ammonia and bleach. You'll get chlorine gas, which was used in WWI for anti-trench warfare.
What are examples of solution that can settle in the bottom when mixed with solvent?
sand

Did the salt in Salt Lake City lake settle to the bottom?
no the waves made it mixed up.
What happens the particles in a suspension if they are allowed to stand?
They will separate from the solution. Think of sand and water in a glass jar. If you shake the jar, the sand and water will stay mixed for a while- --the sand is " suspended" in the liquid. However, if you let it stand a while, the sand will drop to the bottom of the jar.

What was the use of turpentine in the thirteen English colonies?
it was used for paint related purposes and mixed with alchool for ilumination purposes.
