Solutions and colloids which contain similarly sized particles can be effectively separated using paper filtration.

true
false

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

A solution is defined as the solution in which the components gets completely dissolved in it. Particles are evenly spread in these solutions. These solution does not scatter light falling on it.

A colloid is defined as the mixtures when physical boundary is seen between the dispersed phase and dispersed medium. They scatter the light falling on it.

Particle size of solutions are smaller than that of the colloids.But size of colloids particles is smaller than the size of pores filter paper used in filtration process due to which they easily escape through filter and results in no separation.

i believe the answer is true.
