What this is saying relative to what you quote is that when the mixture is agitated, stirred if you will, then left without agitating, it will settle out. That means that you have to keep stirring the mixture for the particles to stay in suspension, that is to not settle out. If you put dirt into a glass of water it will settle out. If you keep stirring it will look uniform because it can't settle out. But when you stop stirring, the dirt being denser than the water will mostly settle out and given enough time most of it will settle out. But by observation means that you can see that the dirt is not settling out, which will be obvious if you have sufficient light shining on it or through it.

What type of mixture contains insoluble particles mixed evenly through a liquid?

A suspension is a type of mixture that contains insoluble particles mixed evenly through a liquid. These particles will eventually settle out over time due to gravity. Examples of suspensions include muddy water and paint.


A mixture of pins and toothpicks?

A mixture of pins and toothpicks can be separated by using a magnet to attract the pins and leaving the toothpicks behind. Alternatively, the mixture can be sifted through a sieve to separate the larger pins from the smaller toothpicks.


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.


What can the particles in a solution and a colloid do?

A Colloid is a type of mechanical mixture in which extremely small particles of on or more substances are evenly and stably distributed in one or more others. A Suspension is a mechanical mixture consisting of a liquid or gas with small particles that are distributed through it, but that separate out if the suspension is left undisturbed


What type of mixture containing insoluble particles is mixed evenly through a liquid?

A colloid is a type of mixture where insoluble particles are evenly distributed throughout a liquid. Examples of colloids include milk, fog, and ink.

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.

When tiny particles of a substance are dispersed through medium then the mixture is called what?

A suspension.


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.

A study is conducted to determine the average length and weight of loblolly pine tree needles in the southeast US Is this data obtained through observation or experimentation?

Observation


A mixture of particles that are large enough to scatter or block light?

This mixture would likely be a suspension, where larger particles are suspended in a liquid, causing the scattering or blocking of light as it passes through. Examples of suspensions include muddy water or fog.


How tyndall effect can help you determine if a mixture is a colloid or not?

The Tyndall Effect can help determine if a mixture is a colloid by observing if the mixture scatters light. Colloids will scatter light, causing the light beam to become visible when passing through the mixture. If the mixture does not scatter light, it is likely not a colloid.


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 is a solution different from a mechnical mixture?

A mechanical mixture is generally considered to be a heterogeneous physical mixture, in which no chemical reactions take place and in which the two or more substances that are mixed can be clearly differenced through observation (it can be aided by a microscope). An example is a mixture of water and oil. A solution, however, is a homogeneous physical mixture, in which no chemical reactions take place, but in which the two or more substances that are mixed together are impossible to distinguish through any form of basic observation, as the components of the mixture are "mixed" at a molecular level. A good example is a mixture of water and sugar.
