Jayda Sloan · Answer 1

In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture containing solid particles that are sufficiently large for sedimentation. Usually they must be larger than one micrometer. A Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve but get suspended throughout the bulk of the medium. a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent ... it is considered a solution and suspension because the orange juice mix with water while the pulp did not and retained as solid

Include in your answer:

-The juice contains sugars, plant pigments, and other chemicals dissolved in water. This is a solution.-The pieces of orange pulp will rise to the top or settle to the bottom of the juice if it is allowed to sit. - The pieces of pulp mixed with the juice form a suspension.
