Solution and Suspension

Solute and Solvent 
Solution and suspension are both mixtures in which solute and solvent are present.Solvent is a substance in which solute is been dissolved ,hence it is present in greater quantity than solute and solute is a substance which is been dissolved in solvent and present in less quantity. Solvent is mostly water and those solutions in which solvent is water is solvent are known as aqueous solution.
Solution
The following are the properties of solution;
  • Solution is a mixture in which solute and solvent are completely dissolved .              
  • Solution is a homogeneous mixture.
  • The particles of solution are so small that they completely dissolved .
  • No residue is left after filtration.
  • It can be separated by filtration,distillation and evaporation

Suspension
The following are the properties of suspension;

  • In suspension solute and solvent are not dissolved completely.
  • Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture.
  • The particles of suspension are so big that they do not dissolve.
  • Residue is left .
  • It can be separated by filtration,distillation and evaporation.
