They are so small that they dont scatter light, Or never settle out.

Is milk a mixture a solutions or both why do you think so?

You can have a mixture of water and steel but you will never have a solution of water and steel. the steel does not dissolve. When you have a mixture and one part actually dissolves into the other, like salt and water, you have a solution. All solutions are mixtures, but not all mixtures are solutions.


How do you use particles in a sentence?

The word particle is a noun. The scientist studied the small particle using her powerful microscope. Some synonyms for particle are fragment, grain, scrap, and atom.


What is the difference between the arrangement of the different particles of a mechanical mixture and the arrangement of the different particles of a solution?

its different because a solution is a liquid mixture and a group of molecules but the arrangement of a mechanical mixture is mixtures when things are mixed together but you can tell that they're two different things.


Could a mixture of pepper and water also be called a solution?

No, a mixture of pepper and water would not be considered a solution. In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture where one substance (the solute) is dissolved in another substance (the solvent). In this case, pepper does not dissolve in water, so it would not form a solution. Instead, it would be considered a suspension, where the pepper particles are suspended in the water but do not dissolve.


Why will filtering not separate solute from a solution using the sizes of particles?

A solute is dissolved in the solution, so if for example you are talking about sugar and water, the white sugar is invisible and the water is clear. So when you filter the water/sugar solution everything filters through the filter paper. If the solution is saturated, this means that the water has dissolved as much as possible so there will be some sugar remaining in the solution. If this is to be filtered then the undissolved sugar will remain in the filter paper, separating the sugar/water solution from the undissolved sugar.

Are the particles in a suspension larger than the particles of a solution but are yet to small to be easily seen?

Particles in a suspension are larger than the particles of a solution, but they are not always so small that they cannot be easily seen with the eye.

What is a mixture that is not a solution but does not separate because the particles in the mixture are so small?

A colloid is a mixture that is not a solution as its particles are larger than in a solution but do not settle due to their small size and the constant movement caused by collisions with the solvent molecules. This type of mixture appears homogeneous to the naked eye and can exhibit interesting properties like the Tyndall effect where light is scattered.


What is a homogeneous mixture in which particles are so small that they cannot be seen without a microscope?

Solution


How is a suspension different from a solution?

The particles are bigger in a suspension, and the solute is not dissolved in the solvent but is dissolved in a solution suspension example- sand in water, sand is the solute and water is the solvent solution example- sugar in water, sugar is the solute and water is the solvent


What is the Tyndall effect of sugar solution?

The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by particles in a colloid or fine suspension, making the beam of light visible. In a sugar solution, which is a true solution (not a colloid), the particles are too small to scatter light significantly, so the Tyndall effect is not observed.


What Dissolves particles allowing them to enter a solution?

A solvent is the liquid medium that dissolves particles so they can enter a solution. This is necessary in the processes of diffusion and osmosis.

Homogeneous mixture of particles so small they cannot be seen and will never settle?

Oh, dude, you're talking about a solution! It's like when you mix stuff together so well that it's all uniform and you can't even see the individual particles. It's like the invisible cloak of chemistry, except it won't make you disappear at Hogwarts.


How can colloid's be distinguished from suspension?

Particles cannot be filtered from colloids. A colloid is distinguished from a solution and a suspension by the particles because they usually have an electric charge, and they repel each other, so they do not collect into larger particles that would settle out like those in solutions, and suspensions.


Is Fruit a solution?

solution is a mixture of two or more different particles that are able to dissolve in each other so then fruit punch is a solution because it is a mixture of 2 or more different particles:-) hope this helped :-) ;-)
