Solutions
A solution is defined a homogenous mixture which mainly comprises of two components namely solute and solvent. For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.
On the basis of physical states of solvent and solute can be categorized as solid, liquid and gaseous solutions.
Solutions
In solid solutions, solute and solvent are in solid state. For example ceramics, and polymer blends. In liquid solutions, solid, gas or liquid is mixed in a liquid state. Gaseous solutions are usually homogenous mixtures of gases like air. Depending upon a number of solutions and solute, it can be classified into dilute and concentrated solutions.
Types of Solutions
Depending upon the dissolution of the solute in the solvent, solutions can be categorized into supersaturated, unsaturated and saturated solutions.
On the Basis of Water as Solvent
Based on the whether the solvent is water or not, solutions are of two types.
On the Basis of the Amount of Solute Added
Based on the amount of solute present in the solution, we can classify them into the following types.
On the Basis of Amount of Solvent Added
On the Basis of Concentration of Solute in Two Solutions
Let us consider a cell placed in a solution in a beaker. Based on the concentration of solute in two solvents( in the cell and in the beaker), we can have the following types of solutions:
