Question
he photo to the right shows a dust storm in Texas in 1935.Identify the two main things being mixed in the storm.Explain whether the mixture is a suspension.
Solution
The two main things being mixed in the storm are dust particles and air.
This mixture is indeed a suspension. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve but get suspended throughout the bulk of the medium. In this case, the dust particles (solute) are suspended in the air (solvent). They are not dissolved in the air, and given enough time, they will settle down due to gravity. This is a characteristic of a suspension.
