(a)Solution
Interpretation:
A solution may exist in any phase.
Concept Introduction:
A solution is a heterogeneous mixture of two or more components. The solution is further divided into two components namely- solute and solvent. Solute is the minor constituent of the solution whereas the solvent is the major constituent. There is no visible layer of separation between the components of solution since the since the size of the solute particles is between 1-100nm.
E.g. sugar solution, the sugar added to water is solute and water is the solvent.
(b)Solvent
Interpretation:
A solution may exist in any phase.
Concept Introduction:
A solution is a heterogeneous mixture of two or more components. The solution is further divided into two components namely- solute and solvent. Solute is the minor constituent of the solution whereas the solvent is the major constituent.
Generally in a solution, in which the components are in different phase, the one in solid phase is considered to be the solute, whereas the one in liquid phase is considered to be the solvent.
E.g.
Sugar solution, the sugar added is in solid form which gets dissolved in water. So, the sugar is the solute and the solvent is water.
For a solution in same phase, the component of the solution in minor quantity is solute, and the one in major quantity is solvent.
E.g.
Milk is added to water in a very small quantity, here milk is the solute and water is the solvent.
(c) Solute
Interpretation:
A solution may exist in any phase.
Concept Introduction:
A solution consists of a solute and a solvent. The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent. The amount of solute that can be dissolved in solvent is called its solubility. For example, in a aqueous solution of Sodium Chloride, Sodium Chloride is the solute dissolved in water as the solvent.
For solutions with components in the same phase, the substances present in lower concentration are solutes, while the substance present in highest abundance is the solvent.
(d)Aqueous solution
Interpretation:
A solution may exist in any phase.
