Question

Which heterogeneous mixture contains large particles that can settle out or can be filtered?

colloid
compound
element
suspension

Answer 1

suspension is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

• suspension heterogeneous mixture contains large particles that can settle out or can be filtered.

• The suspension contains large numbers of solid particles and these particles can be seen clearly by the eyes.
• A suspension is a heterogenous mixture where solute particles are not dissolved they remain suspended and it left floating freely in the medium.
• These suspended particles are knowns as particulates.
• An example of a suspension solution is muddy water.

Answer 2

Elements and compounds are pure substances therefore, they are not mixtures.

That narrows it down to colloid and suspension. Both are heterogeneous mixtures, however, a suspension by definition has larger particles than a colloid.

Answer: suspension
