Definition of a Solution:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A solution<\/strong> is defined as a homogeneous mixture of two or more non-reactive substances in a single phase whose composition can be varied within certain limits. The particle size of each component is up to 10-9<\/sup>m<\/strong>. A binary solution is generally made up of two components solute and solvent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A solvent<\/strong> is that component of a solution which is present in a larger amount by weight and whose physical state is the same as that of the solution. On the other hand, a solute<\/strong> is that component of a solution which is present in small amounts and whose physical state changes during solution formation. Example-<\/strong> A solution of NaCl in H2<\/sub>O has NaCl as solute and water as solvent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Solution:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending upon the physical state of the solvent and the solute, various types of solutions are tabulated below-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solutions in which H2<\/sub>O is solvent are called aqueous solutions<\/strong> and solutions in which solvent is other than water, i.e., organic solvents like benzene, ether, CCl4<\/sub>, etc. are called non-aqueous solutions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two more types of solutions called saturated and unsaturated solutions. A solution which can dissolve more of solute is called an unsaturated solution<\/strong> and a solution which cannot dissolve more of solute is called a saturated solution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
