★Defination
❥︎A solution in chemistry is a homogenous mixture of two or more substances.
❥︎The substance which is dissolved is called a solute.
❥︎The substance in which the solute is dissolved is called a solvent.
★Main characteristics of a solution
- Solution is homogenous
☆That the solution is a homogenous mixture means that it forms a single phase. You cannot differentiate one substance from another within the solution. Characteristics of a solution are identically distributed through it. For an easy example, if you dissolve sugar in water but some of the sugar is still visibly laying on the bottom of the container (or even floating moved by movement of water) then this not part of a solution - only the dissolved "invisible" sugar is.
☆You cannot see a solute inside a solvent, nor can you mechanically take one out of another (eg. taking dissolved sugar from water is impossible with a sifter or another mechanical method).
- Solution is stable
☆A solution is stable in given conditions. Eg. in a particular temperature and pressure it does not require stirring or other methods to remain homogenous.
- Solution is in one phase
✰That the whole solution is on one phase means that the wole of it is either gasous, liqiud or solid.
★Examples of solutions
Examples of solutionsCommon example of a solution in every day life is salt or sugar (solute) dissolved in water (solvent).
