Concept Introduction:

Solution is used for description of any system that consists of mixture of substances that are dissolved in another substance. It has two components, solute, and solvent. Component that is present in less quantity and is dissolved in another component is called solute while the one that dissolves solute in it and is present in more amounts is called solvent.
