A student wants to determine the melting point of water as part of an investigation into the strength of electrostatic forces. The student considers determining the freezing point of water instead. Is this a valid option? O No, it is not because the freezing point is not related to electrostatic forces. O No, it is not because the freezing point is not related to the melting point. O Yes, it is; and determining the freezing point is likely to be more accurate. O Yes, it is; but determining the freezing point is likely to be more difficult.

Solutions

Solutions can be considered as homogeneous mixtures which contain two or more than two chemical substances. The chemical substance which is the greater part is defined as solvent. And the chemical substance that is dissolved in a solvent is referred to as solute. Solution chemistry plays an important role in chemistry since it supports many commercial applications of solutions.
