suspension solution does not allow the light to pass through it because particles present in the solution are larger in the size so they absorb the light and they obstruct the path. thus the light does not pass through it.

When copper sulphat is stirred into a water water turns blue what two tests carry out to see whether this mixture is suspension or a solution?

A suspension is cloudy or will not allow light through, a solution is clear even though it can be colored. One way to test is to shine a light through the water mixture and see if it allows light to come through without breaking it up or dimming it. If it does it's a solution, if not its a suspension.


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 can you tell the difference between suspension colloid or solution?

Use the Tyndall Effect shine a light through it. If the light is scattered then it is colloidal. Both colloids and suspensions are heterogeneous. A solution will not show the beam through it's substance but the colloid will. The particles in the suspension will eventually settle at the bottom, showing that it is NOT a solution.


How can a torch be used to test a colloid?

A torch can be used to test a colloid by shining the light through the colloid. If the colloid scatters the light making it visible (Tyndall effect), then it is a colloid. This is because the particles in the colloid are large enough to scatter light, unlike particles in a solution which are too small.


Is light able to pass through a suspension?

Yes, light is able to pass through a suspension. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture where particles are temporarily dispersed in a medium, but they are not dissolved. Light can interact with the particles in the suspension, causing it to scatter or be absorbed to some extent, but some of the light can still pass through.

How can you use a light beam to identify a solution from a suspension?

Because of the different properties of solutions and suspensions, a beam of light can be used to differentiate the two. If a beam of light passes through the sample, it is a solution, not a suspension. Conversely, if a beam of light does not pass through a sample completely, it is a suspension, not a solution.


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.

What is a suspension solution in chemistry?

solution are of three types.true,colloidal and suspension.suspension solution is the solution which does not allow light to pass through.does not scatter light. 'in this solution the particles are not completely dissolved and they can be seen through our naked eye'.they have undissolved small particles.example:chalk powder in water


Does suspension scatter light?

Yes, suspension can scatter light. When light passes through a suspension, the particles in the suspension can cause the light to scatter in different directions due to interactions with the particles. This scattering can be used to determine properties of the suspension, such as particle size and concentration.

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.


The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by the particles in a what?

The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by the particles in a colloid or fine suspension. This effect causes the beam of light to become visible as it passes through the colloidal mixture or suspension due to the reflection and dispersion of light by the particles.


How can you tell the difference between suspension colloid or solution?

Use the Tyndall Effect shine a light through it. If the light is scattered then it is colloidal. Both colloids and suspensions are heterogeneous. A solution will not show the beam through it's substance but the colloid will. The particles in the suspension will eventually settle at the bottom, showing that it is NOT a solution.


Why does a suspension prevents light from passing through?

A suspension contains particles that are larger than the wavelength of visible light, causing light to scatter as it passes through the suspension. This scattering makes it difficult for light to travel in a straight path through the suspension, resulting in reduced transparency.


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 .


Need a simple method to distinguish between a beaker containing a true solution and one containing a colloidal suspension?

To do this you use the most simple of tests. (The name of the test escapes me at the moment... it might be Light Scattering.) You simply shine a small light through the beaker, and if you have a colloidal suspension, the light should be visible through the colloid. If you should have a solution, however, the light will not appear through the substance. This is because the particles in the solution are far too small to scatter light, while the particles in the colloid are large enough to be able to scatter the light.
