‭39. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:‬

‭ suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve but remain‬
A
‭suspended throughout the bulk of the medium. Particles of a suspension are visible to the naked‬
‭eye. The particles of a suspension scatter a beam of light passing through it and make its path‬
‭visible. Due to the relatively smaller size of particles, as compared to that of a suspension, the‬
‭mixture appears to be homogeneous. The scattering of a beam of light is called the Tyndall‬
‭effect. The components of a colloidal solution are the dispersed phase and the dispersion‬
‭medium. The solute-like component or the dispersed particles in a colloid form the dispersed‬
‭phase, and the component in which the dispersed phase is suspended is known as the‬
‭dispersing medium.‬

‭(i) Differentiate between Dispersed phase and Dispersion medium?‬

‭(ii) Differentiate between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous mixture?‬

‭(iii) What is emulsion?‬

‭Or‬
