SUSPENSION AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS by Sir Pj Miana Suspension and Its Characteristics What is Suspension? - A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture where solid particles are dispersed in a liquid or gas but are not completely dissolved. - The solid particles in a suspension are usually larger and can be seen with the naked eye. Characteristics of Suspensions: 1. Visible Particles: In a suspension, you can see the solid particles floating around in the liquid or gas. This is because the particles are not dissolved but rather suspended. 2. Settling: If you leave a suspension undisturbed for a while, the solid particles will eventually settle at the bottom. This is due to gravity pulling them down. To reuse the suspension, you need to stir it again. 3. Heterogeneous: Suspensions are always heterogeneous, meaning the components are not evenly distributed. You can have areas with more particles and areas with fewer particles. 4. Filtration: Suspensions can be separated by using a filter....

SEPARATING MIXTURES BY: PJ MIANA Introduction Understanding and mastering techniques for separating mixtures is not only a fascinating aspect of science but also an essential life skill. In our daily lives, we encounter a multitude of mixtures, from the ingredients in our kitchen to environmental challenges such as pollution and water purification. Learning how to effectively separate mixtures is crucial for solving real-world problems, making informed decisions, and gaining a deeper understanding of the world around us. In this lesson, we will explore various techniques such as picking, winnowing, decantation, the use of magnets, sieving, filtering, and evaporation. These techniques are not only fundamental to scientific inquiry but also find practical applications in industries like agriculture, food processing, environmental science, and more. By grasping these methods, we empower ourselves to tackle complex challenges, conserve resources, and contribute to a cleaner and more sustai...

 20 FACTS ABOUT SOLUTES AND SOLVENTS Here are 20 important facts about solutes and solvents: A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent. The solvent is the dissolving medium. The solute and solvent can be in any state of matter: solid, liquid, or gas. The solute and solvent must be miscible, meaning they can mix together to form a solution. The solubility of a solute is the amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature. The solubility of a solute can be affected by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of other solutes. A solution can be saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated. A saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature. An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less solute than it can dissolve at a given temperature. A supersaturated solution is a solution that contains more solute than it can dissolve at a given temperature. The...
