If a mixture scatters light and does not settle upon standing, it is not considered a suspension. It is considered a colloid.
A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture where the particles are intermediate in size between a solution and a suspension, making them visible only with the aid of a microscope. Due to the small size of the particles, they do not settle out upon standing, resulting in a stable mixture.
suspension
Freezing it: If upon freezing, a solution forms a homogeneous solid, it is a solution. If it separates into distinct phases, it is a suspension. Evaporating off the liquid: If after evaporating the liquid, only solid components remain, it is a solution. If there are solid particles left behind, it is a suspension. Stirring it: If the mixture remains visibly the same after stirring, it is likely a solution. If visible particles settle out, it is a suspension. Letting the mixture stand for a while: If the components do not settle out upon standing, it is likely a solution. If visible particles settle to the bottom, it is a suspension.
observe that the particles in a solution are uniformly distributed and do not settle over time, while the particles in a suspension settle out and form a distinct layer.
A solution is a homogeneous mixture where one substance is dissolved in another, forming a single phase. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture where particles are dispersed in a liquid but do not dissolve, leading to a two-phase system. Solutions are typically transparent and stable, while suspensions appear cloudy or opaque and may settle over time.
A suspension has large particles that settle out on standing.
A colloid is a type of mixture in which medium-sized particles do not settle out on standing and scatter light. However, a suspension is a type of mixture with medium-sized particles that do settle out on standing and can scatter light.
Tomato juice is a heterogeneous mixture. Tomato juice is an example of of a suspension; a mixture with large particles that are visible and settle apon standing.
A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture where the particles are intermediate in size between a solution and a suspension, making them visible only with the aid of a microscope. Due to the small size of the particles, they do not settle out upon standing, resulting in a stable mixture.
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.
Orange juice, pond water, and Italian salad dressing are examples of liquid heterogeneous mixtures.
Suspension.
A suspension contains particles that will settle out of the mixture if left sitting out.
