Question

9 types of solutions in chemistry
​

Answer 1

Answer :

➤ Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more than two components.

• Solvent is the component that is present in the larger quantity in the solution.
• Solute is the component that is present in the smaller quantity in the solution.
• Solvent determines the physical state in which solution exists$.$

➤ Types of solutions :

1. Solid in solid :

• Solute : Solid
• Solvent : Solid
• Examples : Alloys like brass, bronze etc.

2. Liquid in solid :

• Solute : Liquid
• Solvent : Solid
• Example : Amalgam of mercury with Hg

3. Gas in solid :

• Solute : Gas
• Solvent : Solid
• Example : Dissolved gases in minerals

4. Solid in liquid :

• Solute : Solid
• Solvent : Liquid
• Example : Sugar solution

5. Liquid in liquid :

• Solute : Liquid
• Solvent : Liquid
• Example : Benzene in toluene

6. Gas in liquid :

• Solute : Gas
