2.The particles of a suspension cannot 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.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Answer: B
Notes:
Explanation: Properties of a Suspension:
- Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture.
- The particles of a suspension can be seen by the naked eye.
- The particles of a suspension scatter a beam of light passing through it and make its path visible.
- 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. When the particles settle down, the suspension breaks, and it does not scatter light anymore.
