The size of the particles is the main factor that distinguishes a suspension from a colloid. In a suspension, the particles are larger and can be seen with the naked eye, while in a colloid, the particles are smaller and do not settle out over time.
Milk of magnesia is a suspension. It is a mixture where particles of the magnesium hydroxide are dispersed in a liquid (water). Over time, the particles will settle out, making it a suspension and not a colloid.
Salt water is a solution, not a colloid suspension. In a solution, the solute particles are dissolved on a molecular level and do not settle out. Colloid suspensions, on the other hand, have larger solute particles that do not dissolve and may eventually settle out.
Suspension consists of the largest particles among colloid, homogeneous mixture, solution. Suspensions contain particles that are visible to the naked eye and typically settle over time.
No, because the sand particles do not dissolve and in time will settle at the bottom making it a suspension.
Suspension has particles, same as colloids. However, the particles in a suspension do not settle down but if is no so for the colloid.
A colloid. The particles do not settle out, but stay suspended.
The size of the particles is the main factor that distinguishes a suspension from a colloid. In a suspension, the particles are larger and can be seen with the naked eye, while in a colloid, the particles are smaller and do not settle out over time.
Yes, mouthwash is a colloid. It is a liquid mixture containing suspended particles that do not settle out.
Milk of magnesia is a suspension. It is a mixture where particles of the magnesium hydroxide are dispersed in a liquid (water). Over time, the particles will settle out, making it a suspension and not a colloid.
Powdered soap is a suspension, not a colloid. Suspensions are mixtures in which particles are dispersed in a liquid but will settle out upon standing. Colloids, on the other hand, have particles that are evenly dispersed and do not settle.
They are different b/c suspensions have particles that do not settle down.
Salt water is a solution, not a colloid suspension. In a solution, the solute particles are dissolved on a molecular level and do not settle out. Colloid suspensions, on the other hand, have larger solute particles that do not dissolve and may eventually settle out.
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.
Toothpaste is not a simple suspension but a Colloid suspension. A Colloid suspension is a suspension that has microscopic particles suspended in another substance.
Suspension consists of the largest particles among colloid, homogeneous mixture, solution. Suspensions contain particles that are visible to the naked eye and typically settle over time.
No, because the sand particles do not dissolve and in time will settle at the bottom making it a suspension.
