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.

Someone is attempting to measure the H3PO4(aq) content of an unknown solution by both titration with NaOH(aq) and calorimetry. The person measures 100 mL of stock NaOH(aq) solution into a buret but forgets to write down its concentration.
