What is a mixture where particles are large enough to settle out?
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture with large particles. The particles are large enough to see and also to settle or be filtered out of the mixture.
What is a mixture in which one substance dissolves in another substance called?
A solution is a mixture where one of the substances dissolves in the other. The substance that dissolves is called the solute. The substance that does not dissolve is called the solvent. An example of a solution is salt water.
When the particles are so large in a solutions that they settle out unless the solution is stirred?

|---|---|
| solute | the substance being dissolved in a solution. |
| suspension | where particles in a solvent are so large that they will settle if the mixture is not constantly stirred or agitated. |
| colloids | particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and suspensions form these mixtres. |
What is a mix of large and small sizes of particles?
A mixture such as sand has a large particle size. Mud stirred in water is a type of mixture called a suspension; the particles are too small to see when mixed, but they eventually settle out. A mixture such as fog (water and air) is called a colloid; its particles are too small ever to settle out.
What do you call a substance in a larger amount?
The substance that is present in the largest amount is called the solvent and the one present in the smaller amount is called a solute.
What is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent?
solute
Solutions are homogeneous mixtures containing two or more substances called the solute and solvent. The solute is the substance that dissolves. The solvent is the dissolving medium.
What kind of mixture is formed when larger particles settle out when left undisturbed?
suspension
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which some of the particles settle out of the mixture upon standing.
What is a heterogeneous mixture called if it has large particles that can settle out unless constantly stirred or agitated?
If the particles in a solvent are so large that they settle out unless the mixture is constantly stirred or agitated, the mixture is called a suspension.
What is a homogeneous mixture that has larger particles that do not settle at the bottom of their container?
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of particles so small that they cannot be seen with a microscope and will never settle to the bottom of their container.
What is a heterogeneous mixture with larger particles that never settle?
A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture that, like a solution, never settles.
