2.2.2 What is a suspension? |
|
Answer» suspension is a heterogeneousmixturein which solute-like particles settle out of a solvent-like phase sometime after their introduction. We use the terms 'solute-like' and 'solvent-like' because we are dealing with a heterogeneous mixture, while the terms solute and solvent refer tohomogeneoussolutions. We apply the word 'suspension' when particles are big enough to eventually settle. If the particles are too small to ever settle, they are said to form acolloid.
