Question

B. Compare and Contrast How are colloids and suspensions different from solutions?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solutions, colloids and suspensions are the three main classifications of a mixture based on sizes of the particles.

• A solution is a homogeneous mixture of solutes and solvents.
• Suspensions are mixtures of small insoluble particles of a solid in a liquid or gas.
• Colloids are homogeneous mixtures of two phases.

Solutions have the following characteristics:

• The size of particles is small
• The particles do not settle on standing.
• The particles pass through ordinary filter papers.
• They are clear and do not have color.

• They do not scatter light

Suspensions have the following properties:

• The particles dispersed are large
• They settle on standing.
• The particles do not pass through ordinary filter papers
• They do not pass through permeable membrane
• They are visible with microscope or naked eyes.
• They are cloudy
• Scatters light.

Colloids have the following properties:

• Their particles are between those in solutions and suspensions.
• Their particles do not settle on standing.
• Their particles pass through ordinary filter paper.
• They do not pass through permeable membranes.
• Scatters light
