Question

A solid and a liquid are shaken together in a test tube to produce a milky mixture that eventually separates into a clear liquid and a white solid. which of the following best describes the mixture? solution colloid suspension

Answer 1

The given mixture is best described as $\boxed{{\text{suspension}}}$ .

Further explanation:

1. Solution:

The solution is formed when a solute completely dissolved in a solvent. It is a homogeneous mixture of solute and solvent. For example, salt completely dissolves in water and form homogeneous mixture or a solution.

2. Colloid:

The mixture solute of particles with size between 2 nm to 1000 nm in a solvent is known as the colloid. These particles of solutes can be seen with naked eyes. Also, colloid can be able to show the Tyndall effect which is a scattering of light. In this type of mixture particles of solute are not separated.

3. Suspension:

The mixture solute of particles with size greater than 1000 nm in a solvent is known as the suspension. These particles of solutes can be seen with naked eyes. Also, in this type of mixture particles of solute are settle down due to the gravity.

In the given case white solid shake with liquid which turns the liquid into milky after some time with particles of solid settle down and solution gets clear. Therefore the given mixture is suspension but not solution or colloid.

Answer 2

This is a suspension

It is a heterogeneous mixture where the solid parts have sedimented on the bottom and are visibly separated from the liquid part of the mix.
