Interpretation:
The statements about the general properties of solutions are true or false has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Solution: It is the homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. In such a mixture, solute is a substance (of lower proportion) dissolved in another substance (of larger proportion), called solvent. In aqueous solution, the solvent is water.
Homogeneous mixture:
- It is a mixture in which the components are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture.
- There is only one phase of matter observed in a homogeneous matter.
- Example- Air, Sugar water , Rain water
Explanation of Solution
Reason for true statements:
Option a):
In a solution, more than one substance can dissolve in a given solvent.
Hence, the statement is true.
Option b):
A solution is formed by dissolving two or more substances in a solvent. In a solution, the components are distributed uniformly through-out and hence it is homogeneous.
Hence, it is true.
Option c):
In a solution, the components are distributed uniformly throughout and thus every part is exactly the same.
Hence, it is true.
Reason for wrong statements:
Option d):
A solution is a homogenous mixture and it does not separate into parts. Therefore, the solutes present in a solution will not settle out with time if kept undisturbed.
Hence, the statement is wrong.
