Question
Define the term solution. How many types of solutions are formed? Write briefly about each type with an example.

Answer

Homogeneous mixtures of two or more than two components are known as solutions. There are three types of solutions.
  1. Gaseous solution:
The solution in which the solvent is a gas is called a gaseous solution. In these solutions, the solute may be liquid, solid, or gas. For example, a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen gas is a gaseous solution.
  1. Liquid solution:
The solution in which the solvent is a liquid is known as a liquid solution. The solute in these solutions may be gas, liquid, or solid. For example, a solution of ethanol in water is a liquid solution.
  1. Solid solution:
The solution in which the solvent is a solid is known as a solid solution. The solute may be gas, liquid or solid. For example, a solution of copper in gold is a solid solution.
