Is it a solution or is it a suspension.

Or is it in fact, as I suspect, a bit of both



Im going to opt for "mainly solution"

 

duh, everyone knows the answer to that! Its a piece of piss that question

Actually do you mean morning piss or beer piss by the way? very different fluids those... in taste as looks

 

I would say solution

 

Urea (main component of urine) = (NH2)2CO so i would say solution..

 

That joke was so bad it actually hurt me to read it.


A valid point, if there is a difference in the percentage in suspension and anyone is aware what it is, that would be interesting too.

 

A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. ie 2 liquids

A suspension is a heterogenous fluid containing solid particles that are sufficiently large for sedimentation. ie flour and water

Overlly simplified

 

Urine formation helps to maintain the balance of minerals and other substances in the body. Its a liquid and not very nice to lay in either....


....My brothers mate got so wasted on his wedding night he manged to piss down his wife of 12 hours' leg....

She duely booked another room in the hotel and reported this to us at breakfast in the morning

Certainly not a solution in that instance

 

Solution - as I thought suspensions occured when the substance (in this case water) could no longer dissolve the other substance(s) beer, tea, coffee into it, if the water became saturated (struggling to dissolve) it would then form a suspension.....

 

I think we all know what a solution or suspension is, its just what percentage of the substances in urine that are in each state that the question was about.

Solutions dont have to be 2 liquids though mate, you can have a solution of a solid in a liquid too.

 

I never said they did

 

Is this a post to find out who on here holds the answer to the most pointless question EVER on PF?

 

I never said you did either, but from how you wrote it others may have read it that way so was just clarifying.

 

There have been FAR more pointless questions than that mate.

Especially as this one is actually partly about cars, unlike a lot of posts on here!

 

Eh?? How is piss about cars??

 

Surely thats obvious?

 

Stop dribbling at the back. SUSPENSION not piss

 

ok

At home in the loft somewhere i've got a text book with the break down of urine that would be able to answer your question. Are you really that interested?

 

I must have my stupid head on today chipper, as i cant think of any time past or present, when i have urinated in on or around my, or anyone elses car

Ahha, just seen the above posts, realised i was focusing on the wrong area and will now shut the fuck up

 

No, I meant piss.



Never been in a car thats lost water, and you havent had any spare water with you?

What do you use?

Piss of course, but the key thing then, is wether the foreign bodies in the water will drop as sediment over time, or stay dissolved.

 

I actually would be TBH mate, I just like to know about "stuff" doesnt really matter what!

 

surely a solution is something that has been absorbed but the liquid and suspension is when there are bits floating in it?

when i had my kidney problems the doc basicly said that it's filtered stuff from your blood, but what happenes is that it's like water thats been filtered through mointains and stuff, it carries micro bits of materials in it which is why you have stalagtites and stalagmites form where the water drips and it's also why you get kidney stones (from when the bladder is full and cannot take anymore and so the kineys back up with urine and the sediments start to congregate inside)

so, from all that, it's pretty clear that on a microscopic level it would be categorised as suspension, although for the most part, and to the human eye, it would be regarded as a solution

 

if you've got a problem and having a piss helps, it must be a solution

 

Not necessarily as a solution can precipitate in some circumstances giving rise to solid particles.

 

Mr Cumins i would suspect youd like to be known as a streak of piss rather than a man with boobs
