Question

classify the following as a heterogeneous mixture (suspension), homogeneous mixture (solution), or a colloid: a snow globe
colloid
homogeneous mixture (solution)
heterogeneous mixture (suspension)

Explanation:

A snow globe contains solid "snow" particles in a liquid (usually water or glycerin). These solid particles are large enough to settle out when the globe is left undisturbed, which is the key characteristic of a suspension (a type of heterogeneous mixture where visible particles separate over time). Solutions have uniformly dissolved particles that don't settle, and colloids have smaller particles that remain dispersed without settling.

Answer:

heterogeneous mixture (suspension)
