WHAT IS SOLUTION

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. You come across various types of solutions in your daily life.examples are :

  1. Lemonade
  2. Soda water

A solution has a solvent and a solute as its components. The component of the solution that dissolves the other component in it (usually the component present in larger amount) is called the solvent. The component of the solution that is dissolved in the solvent (usually present in lesser quantity) is called the solute.

PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS
  1. A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
  2. The solute particles cannot be separated from the mixture by the process of filtration.
  3. The particles of a solution are smaller than 1 nm (10-9 metre) in diameter. So, they cannot be seen by naked eyes.
CONCENTRATION OF THE SOLUTION

The concentration of a solution is a measure of the amount of solute that has been dissolved in a given amount of solvent or solution. A concentrated solution is one that has a relatively large amount of dissolved solute.

There are various ways of expressing the concentration of a solution, but here we will learn only three methods.

  1. Mass by mass percentage of a solution:
