How can a solution be distinguished from a suspension?
The technique for distinguishing between solution and suspension.
Answer to Problem 6RQ
The solution can be distinguished from the suspension by using centrifuge.
Explanation of Solution
When the composition is the same throughout the mixture, it is known as a homogeneous mixture. There are two types of mixture which are: solution and suspension.
When the components of the homogeneous mixture are all in the same phase, it is known as the solution.
When the components of the heterogeneous mixture are in different phases, it is known as the suspension.
The solution can be distinguished from the suspension by using a centrifuge. In a centrifuge device, the sample is spun at thousands of revolutions per minute. Because of the spinning, the components of suspension get separated from the solution.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the solution can be distinguished from the suspension by using centrifuge.
