How does an insoluble substance form a suspension?

When an insoluble substance is mixed with a liquid, the particles of the substance do not dissolve but instead remain suspended throughout the liquid. The suspension is formed when the particles are small enough to disperse in the liquid but large enough that they do not dissolve. The particles may settle over time due to gravity, requiring the suspension to be shaken or stirred to redisperse them.


Why doesn't sand dissolve in water?

Sand can't dissolve in water because the 'spaces' in between the water particles are too small and the sand particles are to big to 'hide' in them, which is what would happen, for example, when you dissolve salt in water. If you heat the water up enough the solubility increases, so the 'spaces' get larger, because particles gain more kinetic energy and get further apart when they heat up (i.e. gain kinetic energy), they may start to dissolve, but this is unlikely. Sand has quite large particles, so the temperature of the water would have to be pretty high, which may cause the water to evaporate.


What are the three ways that can make a sugar lump dissolve faster and why?

Warm Water (The high temp. may cause the sugar particles to met/dissolve)


Do all solid particles dissolve in water?

No, not all solid particles dissolve in water. The solubility of a solid in water depends on its specific properties, such as molecular structure and interactions with water molecules. Some solids are insoluble in water, meaning they do not dissolve and remain as solid particles.


Why does gatorade powder not dissolve?

Gatorade powder may not fully dissolve if the water is too cold, if the powder is added too quickly, or if it is not mixed well enough. Additionally, some particles in the powder may be denser and take longer to dissolve completely.


Is air a suspension mixtures?

A suspension is a mixture of liquids with particles of a solid which may not dissolve in the liquid. Therefore, air would be a suspension.


Will saw dust dissolve in water?

Most people think of something being soluble if it will dissolve in water. Sawdust doesn't dissolve in water. In general the cellulose and other structures that compose sawdust are not particularly soluble until they are broken down chemically - which is not really dissolving. Once they have been broken down, the resulting products can be dissolved - but at that point you aren't really dissolving sawdust anymore, you are dissolving the products of the chemical reactions that have broken down the sawdust.


Why doesn't cinnamon dissolve?

It does not dissolve in the conventional sense, as table salt dissolves in water. Cinnamon is composed of small insoluable particles of bark which may be suspended in a liquid, but they will never dissolve completely. Even suspending cinnamon can be difficult, because the particles repel water and contain oils which hinder wetting.


What are small pieces of material that come from rocks or living things called?

These small pieces are called particles. They can be broken down further based on their source - for example, particles from rocks may be referred to as mineral particles, whereas those from living things may be organic particles.


Why soil is not dissolve in water?

Soil is a mixture of various particles like sand, silt, clay, and organic matter that do not dissolve in water because the particles are too large to dissolve at a molecular level. Some components of soil may be soluble in water, but the overall structure of soil makes it insoluble as a whole.


Will vinegar dissolve asphalt?

Vinegar can soften asphalt but may not completely dissolve it. It can be used to help break down asphalt in small amounts, but heavier cleaning or removal may require stronger solvents or methods.
