3. Colloids are solutions with very small particles suspended in a liquid.

Explanation

Colloids are a special type of solution with very small particles suspended within the solvent. Colloid solutions are also called colloidal dispersions.

4. An increase in pressure can lead to an increase in dissolved gases.

Explanation

As the pressure of a system increases, it is easier to dissolve more gases into a liquid. Pressure forces more of the gas molecules into the solvent.
