Question

sort it out sort the mixtures: solutions, suspensions, and colloidal dispersions hey, curious minds! categorize the mixtures by clicking and dragging them to their correct type. orange juice with pulp hand sanitizer sugar in tea smoke milk italian salad dressing muddy water saltwater rubbing alcohol ink sand in water fruit smoothie perfume paint air

Explanation:

• Solutions: A homogeneous mixture where the solute particles are evenly distributed and very small (usually less than 1 nm in diameter). The components do not separate over time.
• Hand sanitizer: Usually a mixture of alcohol (solute) and water (solvent) with a homogeneous composition.
• Sugar in tea: Sugar (solute) dissolves in tea (solvent, mainly water) to form a homogeneous mixture.
• Saltwater: Salt (solute, e.g., NaCl) dissolves in water (solvent) to form a homogeneous mixture.
• Rubbing alcohol: Typically a mixture of isopropyl alcohol (or ethyl alcohol) and water, homogeneous in nature.
• Perfume: Fragrance compounds (solutes) dissolved in a solvent (often ethanol - water mixture), homogeneous.
• Air: A mixture of gases (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide) that is homogeneous at a molecular level.
• Suspensions: A heterogeneous mixture where relatively large particles (usually greater than 1000 nm) are dispersed in a fluid. The particles can settle out over time.
• Orange juice with pulp: The pulp is a solid that can settle out, and the mixture is heterogeneous.
• Italian salad dressing: Usually has oil, vinegar, and solid particles (like herbs) that can separate, heterogeneous.
• Muddy water: Mud (solid particles) suspended in water, particles can settle.
• Sand in water: Sand (solid) particles are suspended in water and will settle.
• Fruit smoothie: Contains solid fruit pieces (like pulp, seeds in some cases) suspended in a liquid base (e.g., yogurt, juice), heterogeneous.
• Colloidal dispersions: A heterogeneous mixture where particles are in the range of 1 - 1000 nm. The particles do not settle out quickly and show the Tyndall effect (scatter light).
• Smoke: Solid particles (e.g., carbon particles) dispersed in air (gas), shows Tyndall effect.
• Milk: Fat globules and protein micelles (particles in the colloidal range) dispersed in water - based liquid.
• Ink: Colored particles (e.g., dyes or pigments) dispersed in a liquid medium (solvent), shows Tyndall effect in some cases.
• Paint: Pigment particles dispersed in a liquid (e.g., water or oil - based medium), has colloidal - like properties.

Answer:

• Solutions: hand sanitizer, sugar in tea, saltwater, rubbing alcohol, perfume, air
• Suspensions: orange juice with pulp, italian salad dressing, muddy water, sand in water, fruit smoothie
• Colloidal dispersions: smoke, milk, ink, paint
