Define solution. Explain with an example. |
| Answer» Solution :A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, consisting of atoms, ions or molecules. The compound that is PRESENT in largest amount in a homogenous mixture is called the SOLVENT, and the other are solutes. For EXAMPLE, when a small amount of NACL is dissolved in water, a homogenous solution is obtained. In this solution, `Na^(+)` and `Cl^(-)` ions are uniformly distributed in water. Here water is the solvent as the amount of water is more compared to the amount of `NaCl` present in this solution, and the NaCl is the solute. | |
