Question

A sealed beaker of what you are told is aqueous nickel sulfide was given to you by the local chemist and you put it on the window sill. Ater a tew days, you notice that the mixture is getting thick toward the bottom. What is the nature of the initial nickel sulfide mixture, assuming that the temperature on the sill remained approximately constant? a) It is a gas. b) It is a colloid. c) It is a solution.

Answer 1

Answer: D. It is a SUSPENSION

Explanation:

SUSPENSION

This is a combination of two or more single substances. The properties of the components involved are not however changed or lost as is the case with compounds.

For this reason this mixture can be separated due to sedimentation or filtering.

After a few days, this occurs in the aqueous nickel sulfide because the solid nickel sulfide is separating from the water.
