Question

Give one example of the following:

a solution of two liquids

Answer 1

Solution: A homogeneous mixture of two or more components mixed together.

• A solution is formed when a solute and a solvent combine.
• Solute: The component of a solution which is present in a lesser quantity or a substance that is dissolved.
• Solvent: The component of a solution which is present in a larger amount or a substance in which solute is dissolved.

A solution of two liquids means that the solute, as well as the solvent, is a liquid.

Example: Ethanol $\left({\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_5\mathrm{OH}\right)$ in Water $\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)$ where both ethanol and water are liquids.
