The correct Answer is:
To determine the nature of a mixture of sulfur and carbon disulfide, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components**: The mixture consists of sulfur (S) and carbon disulfide (CS₂). 2. **Understand the Mixture Type**: - A mixture can be classified as either homogeneous or heterogeneous. - A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout, while a heterogeneous mixture has distinct, separate components. 3. **Analyze the Mixture**: - When sulfur is mixed with carbon disulfide, the sulfur does not dissolve completely in the carbon disulfide. Instead, it remains as distinct particles within the liquid. - This indicates that the mixture is not uniform, confirming it is a heterogeneous mixture. 4. **Determine if it is a Colloid**: - A colloid is a specific type of heterogeneous mixture where the particle size is between 1 nanometer and 1000 nanometers, and these particles do not settle out over time. - The mixture of sulfur and carbon disulfide can be classified as a colloid because the sulfur particles are dispersed in the carbon disulfide and do not settle out. 5. **Check for Tyndall Effect**: - Colloids exhibit the Tyndall effect, which is the scattering of light by the dispersed particles. - Since the sulfur particles are dispersed in the carbon disulfide, this mixture will scatter light, demonstrating the Tyndall effect. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the above analysis, the mixture of sulfur and carbon disulfide is a heterogeneous mixture and a colloid that shows the Tyndall effect. ### Final Answer: The mixture of sulfur and carbon disulfide is a **heterogeneous mixture and a colloid that shows the Tyndall effect**.
