Chapter 15, Problem 32R

To determine

Whether the ocean water is solution or suspension.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

If a mixture is heterogeneous and contains visible particle then the mixture is called as suspension.

If the mixture is homogeneous and does not contain visible particle then the mixture is called as solution.

Ocean water contains either visible particles of sands or other organic and inorganic matters, and uniformly dissolved salts into it.

Conclusion:

Thus,it can be concluded that the ocean water is called as solution and suspension.
