Question

What do you understand by the following term: Solution.

Answer 1

Solution:

• Solute + Solvent = Solution
• A solute dissolves in a solvent to form a solution.
• A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is less than 1nm.
• In a homogeneous solution, all the components appear as a single phase.
• A solution may exist in any phase, the solution consists of a solute and solvent.
• The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent is called its solubility.
• Common examples are the solution of salt in water, the solution of sugar in water, etc.
