how many types of solution answer
Answers
Answer:
Different types of Solutions On the bases of water as Solvent:
Solutions can be classified into 2 types on the basis of whether the solution is water or not.
Aqueous Solution:- The solution in which any state of homogeneous compound completely dissolves in water, in which water acts as a solvent. Examples of this kind of solution are sugar/ salt in water, carbon dioxide in water.
Non-Aqueous Solution:- These solutions are basically opposite of the Aqueous solution, as the solvent available in it is not water, could be anything else like, petrol, benzene, ether, etc. Examples of this kind of solution include phenolphthalein in benzene, sulfur in carbon disulfide, etc.
2. Different types of Solutions On the bases of an amount of solute added:
Solutions can be classified into 3 types on the bases of an amount of solute present in the solution.
Saturated Solutions: A solution is said to be saturated only if it reaches its limit to dissolve any more solute in the solvent at a definite temperature.
Unsaturated Solutions: If the solution can still dissolve more solute in solvent then it is said to be unsaturated solutions.
Supersaturated Solutions: The solution in which solute is present in an excess amount, and are dissolved in the solvent forcefully by raising the temperature, is called as the Supersaturated Solutions. These excess solute particles are later found in the form of crystals with the help of the crystallization process.
3. Different types of solutions on the bases of an amount of solvent added:
Solutions can be classified into 2 types on the bases of an amount of solvent present in the solution.
Concentrated Solutions: Large amounts of solute is added in the given solvent to give concentrated solutions.
Dilute Solutions: A solution having a small amount of solute in a large amount of solvent is called Dilute Solutions.
4. Different types of solutions on the bases of the amount of concentration of solute in two solutions:
Solutions can be classified into three types based on the concentration of the solvent in two solvents (in a beaker and a cell in it), in the solution.
Hypertonic Solutions: Hypertonic Solutions are those types of solutions in which the concentration of the solute in a beaker is higher than that of in the cell, so water comes out of the cell making the cell to plasmolyze/ shrink.
Hypotonic Solutions: Hypotonic Solutions are those solutions in which the concentration of solute in a beaker is less as compared to the cell, so the water will move into the cell causing it to swell and burst afterward.
Isotonic Solutions: These Isotonic Solutions have the same concentration of solute in both beaker and cell, so the water will move around the cell in both directions.
Solutions can be distinguished on their ability to conduct electric current, as those solutions which contain molecules are called Non-conductors while those solutions which contain ions are known as conductors.
The substance which dissolves in water and breaks to form ions are called as electrolytes, while those substances which dissolve in water but does not form ions are called Non-electrolytes. These ion-forming substances which conduct electric current in solutions, known as electrolytes can be further classified into Strong electrolyte and Weak electrolyte.
Strong Electrolyte: Strong electrolytes are available only in the form of ions, as it makes the light bulb glow brilliantly on the conductivity apparatus (which is used to check electric current in the solution). NaCl is a good example of Strong electrolyte.
Weak Electrolyte: The solutions which contain only a few ions are known as weak electrolytes, which makes the light bulb glow dimly on the conductivity apparatus. Weak acids and bases are good examples of weak electrolytes.

Answer:
There are three types of solution -
(i) Gaseous solution:
The solvent is a gas and solute may be liquid, solid or gas.
Example: A mixture of oxygen and nitrogen gases.
(ii) Liquid solution:
The solvent is a liquid and the solute may be gas, liquid or solid.
Example: A solution of ethanol in water.
(iii) Solid solution:
The solvent is solid. The solute may be gas, liquid or solid.
Example: A solution of copper in the gold.
