To Study the Properties of a Suspension
If we shake some chalk powder with water in a beaker, a milky suspension is formed. We can see the fine particles of chalk suspended throughout the water without dissolving in it. If this suspension of chalk and water is kept undisturbed for some time, the chalk particles settle down at the bottom of the beaker.This means that chalk and water suspension is unstable. If we filter the suspension of chalk and water, the chalk particles are left behind as a residue on the filter paper and clear water is obtained as a filtrate. This means that chalk and water suspension can be separated into chalk and water by filtration. And if a beam of light is passed through a chalk and water suspension, it scatters the beam of light and renders its path visible inside it. From this discussion, we get the following properties of a suspension.
