Objective 1 for Homework 10

1.  A suspension is a heterogeneous fluid (consisting of diverse ingredients) and the particles will eventually settle. An example of this is sand and water. A colloid is a substance that is dispersed throughout another. An example of this is milk. A solution is a mixture in which a solute is dissolved in a solvent. An example of this is sugar in water.
2. The water particles are attracted to the sugar particles and the crystals begin to break appart. This is why it looks as if the crystals disappear.
3. The solute will lower the freezing point to different levels depending on how many particles are dissolved into the water. This rule will also raise the boiling point of a solution.
4. It would make a suspension because the particles were not dissolving or breaking apart from each other when it entered the water, it was just mixing with it and after a while the food coloring will eventually seperate from the water.
