Question 5

Which of the following mixtures is classified as a suspension?

Accepted Answer

A mixture where large particles settle out over time and can be separated by filtration.

Question 6

Which property distinguishes a colloid from a suspension?

Accepted Answer

Colloids have particles that do not settle out and cannot be separated by filtration.

Question 12

Which of the following best describes a homogeneous mixture?

Accepted Answer

A mixture with a uniform composition throughout.

Question 13

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a suspension?

Accepted Answer

Particles remain evenly distributed and do not settle.

Question 14

Question 16

Which of the following is a correct statement about the Tyndall effect?

Accepted Answer

It is the scattering of light by particles in a colloid.
