Question

The solution comprising two components is called a ____ solution.

Answer 1

• A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components.
• The component of the solution which is in the same physical state as the solution or the component which is present in larger proportion is called solvent.
• The component which undergoes change in physical state when dissolved in a solvent or the one which is present in minor proportion is called solute.
• The proportion of components of the solution can be varied within certain limit.
• In a solution the components are uniformly distributed.
• The solution comprising of two components is called a binary solution.
• Eg: Common salt in water. Two components are present in salt solution, solute is common salt (NaCl) and solvent is water (H₂O)
• The solution comprising of two components is called a binary solution.
