Predicting Outcomes You have been investigating the nature of suspensions, colloids, and solutions and have collected the following observational data on four unknown samples. From the data, infer whether each sample is a solution, suspension, or colloid. DATA TABLE 1 Samples Sample Color Clarity (clear or cloudy) Settle out Tyndall effect 1 green clear no no 2 blue cloudy yes no 3 colorless clear no yes 4 white cloudy no yes Based on your inferences in Data Table 1, you decide to conduct one more test of the particles. You filter the samples and then reexamine the filtrate. You obtain the data found in Data Table 2. Infer the classifications of the filtrate based on the data in Data Table 2. DATA TABLE 2 Filtrate of Samples Sample Color Clarity (clear or cloudy) On filter paper Tyndall effect 1 green clear nothing no 2 blue cloudy gray solid yes 3 colorless clear none yes 4 colorless clear white solid no
