Solution vs. Suspension Demonstration Physical Science Chapter 8: solutions, acids and bases
Solution vs. Suspension • A solution is a homogeneous mixture (parts of mixture appear the same throughout) of two or more substances • A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture (parts of mixture are noticeably different) that separates into layers over time
Solution vs. Suspension • The mixture in container A is sodium chloride (table salt) and hot water • The mixture in container B is oil and water • Is container A a solution or a suspension??? solution • Is container B a solution or a suspension??? suspension
Solutions • A solution is composed of two parts: a solute and a solvent • A solute is a substance whose particles are dissolved in a solution • A solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves in • Container A is a solution of water and salt: • Which substance is the solute??? salt • Which substance is the solvent??? water, in fact water is the BEST solvent on earth!!!
