Question
What is a suspension?
Solution
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve but remain suspended throughout the bulk of the medium. Particles of a suspension are visible to the naked eye.
Properties of a Suspension:
1.) Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture.
2.) The particles of a suspension can be seen by the naked eye.
3.) The particles of a suspension scatter a beam of light passing through it and make its path visible.
4.) The solute particles settle down when a suspension is left undisturbed, that is, a suspension is unstable. They can be separated from the mixture by the process of filtration.
