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.

What is the difference between true and colloid solution?

Colloid is not a true solution they both differ from each other. Colloid is a kind of solution that scatters a beam of light passing through it and renders it path visible while a True solution is a kind of solution that scatters a beam of light passing through it and renders it path visible .


Is cytoplasm an example of a suspension?

Protoplasm is considered a colloid in a fluid suspension. Colloids are mixtures that contain particles or molecules of varying sizes. Some examples of a colloidal suspension are milk, paint, gelatin, and blood.


What type of colloid is formed from two liquids what are some examples?

foams


What is a suspension solution in chemistry?

A suspension solution in chemistry is a heterogeneous mixture in which particles of a solid are dispersed in a liquid but do not dissolve. The particles in a suspension solution can settle out over time and the mixture may appear cloudy or opaque. Examples include muddy water and some types of medicines.


What is the specific type of mixture in which the some of the contents settle to the bottom of a container if the mixture is not stirred?

This is called a heterogenous mixture, and may be a suspension, colloid, or alloy (mixed solids). It can include substances that are in different physical states or phases.In a suspension, one substance is not actually dissolved in the other but remains suspended (it may eventually separate or solids settle out). Some examples are dirty water, orange juice pulp, and milk.

Is frog a suspension colloid or solution?

I have it under good authority that a frog is neither a suspension, colloid nor solution but is instead an Assembly of organs, bones, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and all the other things that make up a frog. Parts of a frog can fall into those three categories, though. The frog's blood is a suspension. The frog's bile is a solution. And the cartilage in its bones is a colloid.

What is conditioner colloid suspension or solution?

Conditioner is typically a colloid suspension, which means that it contains small particles suspended in a liquid. These particles help to smooth and moisturize the hair when the conditioner is applied. Some conditioners may also contain solutions, where the active ingredients are dissolved in the liquid instead of being suspended as particles.


Is soil in water solution suspension or colloid?

Soil in water is typically a suspension, as the soil particles will settle over time due to gravity. If the soil particles are very fine, it may exhibit some colloidal properties due to the interactions between the particles and the water molecules, but it is still primarily considered a suspension.


How can you distinguish a colloid?

A colloidal solution is not transparent, has some opalescence.

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.


Is suspension solution translucent or opaque?

Suspension solutions can be either translucent or opaque, depending on the particle size and concentration of the suspended material. Translucent suspensions allow some light to pass through, while opaque suspensions block light completely.


How do you tell the difference between a solution and a suspension?

The traditional test is that a suspension scatters at least some of any light that passes through the suspension, while a solution does not.
