write atleast 10 examples of Suspensions
Answer (1)
Answer:Here are at least 10 examples of suspensions, along with explanations of why they fit the definition: * Muddy Water: This is a classic example. Soil particles (solute) are dispersed in water (solvent). If left undisturbed, the soil will eventually settle out at the bottom. * Chalk in Water: When you mix chalk dust with water, you'll see the white particles floating around. Over time, the chalk will settle to the bottom of the container. * Flour in Water: Similar to chalk, flour mixed with water creates a cloudy suspension. The flour particles are large enough to be seen and will eventually settle. * Orange Juice with Pulp: Many types of orange juice, especially those with "extra pulp," are suspensions. The pulp particles are suspended in the liquid juice and will settle over time if left undisturbed. * Some Medicines (e.g., antacids like Maalox, Kaopectate): Many liquid medications that instruct you to "shake well before use" are suspensions. The active ingredients are finely ground particles suspended in a liquid base, and they need to be re-dispersed before consumption. * Paint: Most paints are suspensions. Pigment particles are suspended in a liquid medium (like water or oil). This is why paint cans often have instructions to stir or shake them. * Silt in a River: Rivers, especially after rainfall, carry significant amounts of silt and sediment suspended in the water. This gives the water a cloudy or brownish appearance, and the particles will eventually settle when the water flow slows. * Dust in Air (short-term): While dust can sometimes be a colloid, larger, heavier dust particles floating in the air after a disturbance (like sweeping) are a temporary suspension. They will eventually settle due to gravity. * Salad Dressing (oil and vinegar based, unshaken): Before shaking, the oil and vinegar in many salad dressings separate. When shaken, the oil droplets become temporarily suspended in the vinegar (and vice-versa), but they will separate again over time. * Blood (specifically the cellular components): While blood is a complex fluid, its cellular components (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets) are suspended in plasma. If an anticoagulant is added and blood is left to stand, these cells will settle to the bottom. * Starch Solution (unheated, high concentration): If you mix a good amount of cornstarch or potato starch with cold water, you'll create a cloudy suspension where the starch particles are visible and will eventually settle. * Clay in Water: Clay particles are very fine but still large enough to form a suspension in water, leading to murky water that slowly clears as the clay settles.
