What happens to the particles of solute in a SUSPENSION?

A. Particles are dissolved.

B. Particles are scattered.

C. Particles are combined.

D. Particles are settled.

• In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of a fluid that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation. The particles may be visible to the naked eye, usually must be larger than one micrometer, and will eventually settle, although the mixture is only classified as a suspension when and while the particles have not settled out.

Answer:

D. Particles are settled.

Explanation:

Are particles suspended in a solution?

A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which some of the particles settle out of the mixture upon standing. The particles in a suspension are far larger than those of a solution, so gravity is able to pull them down out of the dispersion medium (water).
