What type of mixture scatters light and cannot be filtered?

a. a colloid, a heterogeneous mixture
b. a solution, a heterogenous mixture
c. a colloid, a homogenous mixture
d. a solution, a homogeneous mixture

The answer is A. A colloid, a heterogeneous mixture

Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a substance whose particles are microscopically dispersed insoluble is suspended throughout with another substance then this mixture is known as colloid.

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture whose components are of same proportion. Whereas a heterogeneous mixture is a mixture whose components are not of same proportion.

When a mixture contains small suspended particles then light can pass through this mixture. This effect is known as tyndall effect.

Whereas a solution will always be transparent and light passes through it without any scattering.

Thus, we can conclude that a colloid, a homogenous mixture scatters light and cannot be filtered.
