Question

which best describes the tyndall effect?
○ the scattering of light by solutes in a mixture
○ the scattering of light by solvent in a solution
○ the scattering of light by solutes in a solution
○ the scattering of light by particles in a mixture

Explanation:

The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by colloidal particles (or other fine particles) in a mixture (like a colloid or a suspension). Solutes in a true solution are too small to scatter light (so options about solutes in a solution are wrong), and solvents don't scatter light to produce the Tyndall effect. So the correct description is the scattering of light by particles in a mixture.

Answer:

D. the scattering of light by particles in a mixture
