Maria examines a mixture that appears to be the same throughout. however, when she looks at a sample using a magnifying lens, she can see small droplets of liquid surrounded by another liquid. which conclusion best fits her observations?

The mixture is a colloid because two different substances can be seen in a small sample when observed under a microscope.

Option D

Explanation:

Colloid is a heterogeneous mixture of two or more substances with relatively smaller size of solute particles and thus it appears to be a homogeneous mixture.

Particles present in a colloidal solution cannot be differentiated through naked eye observations and hence when Maria examined the sample under a microscope, two different substances were seen. Maria saw the mixture to be same throughout since the solute particles were very small in size and evenly dispersed in the solvent.

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".
