swimming pool water
Pregunta 134
Pregunta
How does a suspension differ from a solution?
Respuesta
-
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture consisting of different phases whereas a solution is a homogeneous mixture consisting of a single phase.
-
The difference between a suspension and a solution can only be determined by chemical means.
-
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture whose components can be separated by simple filtration. A solution is a homogeneous mixture which cannot be separated by simple filtration.
-
Although a solution and suspension are both homogeneous mixtures, only the components of a suspension will separate by spinning the mixture in a centrifuge.
Pregunta 135
Pregunta
Mixtures can be separated into their components by taking advantage of differences in the chemical properties of the components. Why might this separation method be less convenient than taking advantage of differences in the physical properties of the components?
Respuesta
-
The chemical properties of the components of a mixture are too different from each other.
-
The chemical properties of the components of a mixture are too similar to each other.
-
A chemical property involves a chemical change so that you no longer have what you had.
-
Chemical properties are not as apparent as are physical properties.
