Question

A student squeezes several oranges to make a glass of orange juice. The juice contains pieces of orange pulp mixed with the juice. Explain why this drink can be considered a combination of a suspension and a solution.

Answer 1

In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture containing solid particles that are sufficiently large for sedimentation. Usually they must be larger than one micrometer. A Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve but get suspended throughout the bulk of the medium. a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent.. it is considered a solution and suspension because the orange juice mix with water while the pulp did not and retained as solid

Answer 2

Answer:

The juice contains sugars, plant pigments, and other chemicals dissolved in water. This is a solution.  The pieces of orange pulp will rise to the top or settle to the bottom of the juice if it is allowed to sit.  The pieces of pulp mixed with the juice form a suspension.
