Question
a solid is stirred into a liquid and dissolves. which type of mixture forms?
a colloid
an emulsion
a solution
a suspension
A solution is formed when a solid dissolves in a liquid. In a solution, the solute (solid) particles are uniformly dispersed at a molecular or ionic level in the solvent (liquid). A colloid has larger dispersed particles that don't settle out easily but are not dissolved at a molecular - ionic level. An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible liquids. A suspension has larger particles that will settle out over time and the solid is not dissolved.
