Suspension - class-IX
Test your knowledge of suspensions in chemistry, including definitions, properties, preparation methods, and comparisons with colloids for Class IX students.
Questions
Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which very fine particles of a solid are dispersed in any medium (liquid or gas). Fine particles of the solid remain suspended in the medium.
- True
- False
A teacher instructed four students $A, S, C$ and $D$ to prepare a suspension of chalk in water. The students prepared suspension in the following manner:
student $'A'$ places a piece of chalk in water.
student $'S'$ places powdered chalk in water.
student $'C'$ places powdered chalk in water and then shakes the mixture vigorously.
student $'D'$ places powdered chalk in dil. $HCl$.
