Answer (1)
1. Yes – Suspensions are used in medicine (e.g. antibiotics), beverages (like chocolate drinks), and food (like salad dressings).2. No – Suspensions are not clear; they often look cloudy or murky.3. No – Tea leaves in hot water is a mechanical mixture, not a suspension.4. Yes – Suspensions usually appear cloudy due to large particles.5. No – In suspensions, particles are not evenly distributed and are often visible.6. Yes – Sand and water form a suspension because sand does not dissolve and settles.7. No – Suspensions are heterogeneous, not homogeneous.8. Yes – Filtration is effective in separating particles in a suspension.9. Yes – Particles in a suspension settle over time if left undisturbed.10. Yes – Shaking helps re-disperse the settled particles for proper use.
