What type of mixture scatters light and cannot be filtered easily? a. a colloid, a heterogeneous mixture b. a solution, a heterogeneous mixture c. a colloid, a homogeneous mixture d. a solution, a homogeneous mixture

Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A colloid is defined as a solution in which solute particles are microscopically dispersed into the solvent and these particles remain suspended into the solution.

A collide is a heterogeneous mixture as particles are suspended into it. So, this distribution is generally uneven in nature. Hence, colloids are heterogeneous mixture.

When light passes through a colloidal solution then it scatters through the particles. Therefore, it causes a visible beam.

Thus, we can conclude that a colloid, a heterogeneous mixture is the type of mixture which scatters light and cannot be filtered easily.

b. false

explanation:

suppose a rock in free fall is dropped off a cliff. after falling for 5 seconds, its speed would not be 100 m/s.
