Solutions,suspensions and solubility

Solution
A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
  • The particles of solute in solution cannot be seen by naked eye.
  • The solution does not allow beam of light to scatter.
  • A solution is stable.
  • The solute from the solution cannot be separated by filtration (or mechanically).
Suspension
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture.
  • A particles of solute in suspension can be seen by the naked eye.
  • The suspension does not allow beam of light to scatter.
  • The solute from the suspension can be separated by filtration.
Solubility
The solubility of a substance is the maximum amount of that substance that will dissolve in 100g of solute at a given temperature.
