Detailed explanation-1: -A solution is a homogeneous mixture of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent. solvent: the substance in which a solute dissolves to produce a homogeneous mixture. solute: the substance that dissolves in a solvent to produce a homogeneous mixture.
Detailed explanation-2: -When one substance dissolves into another, a solution is formed. A solution is a homogeneous mixture consisting of a solute dissolved into a solvent.
Detailed explanation-3: -A homogeneous mixture of solvent and solute is known as a solution. Examples of solutions are gaseous solutions, liquid solutions, and solid solutions.
Detailed explanation-4: -COMPONENTS OF A SOLUTION For example, when we make a salt solution, salt is being dissolved in a dissolving medium that is water. Here, salt is solute as it is dissolved in dissolving medium water, which is solvent. The same applies to a sugar solution. Sugar is solute, and water is solvent.
