Yes, water with soil is a suspension.
What is a Suspension?
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture where solid particles are dispersed in a liquid. These particles are large enough to be visible and will settle out over time if left undisturbed.
Evidence from the Reference
The provided reference explicitly states: "A mud puddle is a suspension of soil and water".
Why is water with soil a suspension?
- Visible Particles: Soil particles are large enough to be seen in water.
- Settling: If you leave a mixture of soil and water undisturbed, the soil particles will eventually settle at the bottom.
- Filtration: Soil can be separated from water using filtration methods.
Examples of Suspensions:
| Suspension | Solid Particles | Liquid |
|---|---|---|
| Muddy Water (soil and water) | Soil | Water |
| Sand in Water | Sand | Water |
