My little sister asked me to search the answer to the question of her assignment regarding mixtures. Yep! It's a science assignment. It took me a long time to try and search for it but found none. So now as a result, she's really mad at me and at the same time, she's starting to boss me around.
Anyways, here is the actual problem...
She needs two(2) citations of the uses of each mixture: solution, colloid and suspension mixtures.
I really have no idea what those are. She was expecting that I would know them because I already passed that subject. Ha! Passed my ****. Anyways, I ended up never listening to the teacher when I was still taking up the subject. So I am expecting on your help right now.
Thanks so much in advance!

This page should help: http://www.saskschools.ca/curr_content/science10/unita/redon12.html
Don't just copy it word for word! It gives examples (in fact, 3 practical examples of each) but your sister needs to choose two of each and write about why each should be classified as it is.

Note: She hasn't been asked about emulsions. Strictly speaking, you should only answer the question given but if she mentioned emulsions (and gave an example) to say how they are different from suspensions, she might get an extra mark or two.

Thank you so much for your help!
You don't know how much you've helped me. I mean if she's mad, she's really mad for eternity until one can calm her down. ^^

Actually, she's already a 3rd year high school and I think she's gotten worse.
She was actually asking me what are the USES of colloid, suspension, and mixture itself.
The question on her book goes like this: Cite 2 uses of each type of mixture.
And she's believing that the book is asking the use of each mixture. Not examples of each and their uses. I don't know anymore, right now she's even insulting me and my IQ! T_T
Searching the website is already taught to her since she was still in grade school. She just doesn't know what words to put there even though she's already very good in vocabulary... -__-
But anyway, thank you so much for your help. I just can't understand that kid so much. She's got a head like a volcano!
