Question

A student squeezes several oranges to make a

glass of orange juice. The juice contains pieces of
orange pulp mixed with the juice. Explain why this
drink can be considered a combination of a
suspension and a solution.

Answer 1

The juice contains sugars, plant pigments, and other chemicals dissolved in water. This is a solution.

The pieces of orange pulp will rise to the top or settle to the bottom of the juice if it is allowed to sit.

The pieces of pulp mixed with the juice form a suspension.

Answer 2

The pieces of pulp are not dissolved in the solution thus making it a suspension. This is also because the pulp can be filtered out with a filter while the sugars cannot be filtered out in the orange juice solution. Hope this helps.
