Question

Which of the following statements distingush between a suspension and a colloid? (Select all that apply.) (15.4) A suspension is a homogenous mixture that settles out if left undisturbed. A suspension is a heterogenous mixture that does not settle out if left undisturbed. The particles dispersed in a colloid are much larger than those in a suspension and they easily settle out. A suspension is a homogenous mixture that does not settle out if left undisturbed. The particles dispersed in a colloid are much smaller than those in a suspension and do not settle out. A suspensiion is a heterogenous mixture that settles out if left undisturbed.

Answer 1

The particles dispersed in a colloid are much smaller than those in a suspension and do not settle out.

Step-by-step explanation:

A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of substances that does settle out on standing. The particles in a suspension are large enough that they can even be seen with naked eyes. The particles in a suspension are more than 1,000 nm in size.

A colloid contains particles that are lesser in size than a suspension (about 1-1,000 nm). The particles in a colloid can not be seen except with the help of a light microscope.
