A mixture of sulphur and carbon disulphide is (a) heterogeneous and shows Tyndall effect (b) homogeneous and shows Tyndall effect (c) heterogeneous and does not show Tyndall effect (d) homogeneous and does not show Tyndall effect

Dear StudentA mixture of sulphur and carbon disulphide is colloidal solution. It does not form a uniform composition, that's why the properties of the mixture are different throughout the solution. Therefore, it will form a heterogeneous colloid.It shows the Tyndall effect, because sulphur remains suspended in water but settles down as a bottom layer in carbon disulphide. So, suspended particles can show this Tyndall effect.Option A is correct.Regards
