A substance is any chemical you might have or want to test. A solution is when that substance is dissolved in water. Chemists make solutions, especially with ionic compounds, so they can break apart into their constituent components and react with something else. Water molecules, which are highly polar attract the positive and negative charges the compounds or elements that make up the ionic compound. Solutions are also good for other chemical reactions though, too.
