Which of the following is/are correct for solutions?
i) Solution is a homogeneous mixture.
ii) Solutions exist in liquid state only.
iii) The component of solution that is usually present in larger amount is called solvent.
Statement I: A solution consists of solvent and solute. Statement II: The component that is present in lesser quantity is called solute.
We know, in a solution the substance present in the smaller quantity is called the solute and the substance present in larger amount is called solvent. But what if both the constituents of the solution are in equal amount ? Suppose we have a liquid in liquid solution in which both the constituents are in equal amount then which one would be solute and which one would be the solvent in that particular solution?
