Answer:

a. glucose in water( solution)

b. smoke in air (colloids)

c. carbon dioxide in air (solution)

d. milk( colloids)

Explanation:

A solution is said to be formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent to form a homogeneous mixture. The solute particles are less than 10^-9m in size. Familiar solutions are those where the solute are dissolved in a liquid solvent. When the liquid water, the solution is known as an aqueous solution. A typical example is (glucose in water). In some other cases, the apparent solution of a solute in a solvent is accompanied by a chemical reaction and this is often known as a chemical reaction. A typical example is (carbon dioxide in air).

Colloids are also known as false solutions. Here, the individual solute particles are larger than the particles of the true solution, but not large enough to be seen by the naked eye. When a light beam is placed beside a beaker containing a colloid, the light rays of the beam can be clearly seen. This shows that it exhibits the Tyndall effect while a solution dosent exhibit such.

In a colloid, the liquid solvent is more appropriately know as the DISPERSION medium while the solid solute particles constitute the DISPERSED substance. This can either be solid, liquid or gas.

For example:

--> smoke in air : Dispersion medium is gas while the dispersed substance is solid.

--> milk: Dispersion medium is liquid while the dispersed substance is liquid.

Pls assist if you can.<br>Reasons why hydrogen was chosen as a standard reference to other elements
MrMuchimi

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Hydrogen either reacts with or is formed by reactions with many other elements, so chemists could use it directly to determine their relative masses.
  • Hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass, so it was convenient to give H a relative atomic mass of 1 and assign those of other elements as multiples of this number.

The O = 16 scale became the standard in 1903 and carbon-12 was chosen in 1961.
