A liquid is a solution if the mixture has two different substances in it. for Example water is not a solution because it is only H2O, but if you mix water with a drink concentrate that is a solution because the mixture consists of two things

∙ 14y agoThe question is a bit misleading because a solution that is not saturated can still be used as a solvent. Anyway, a few simple methods can be used to assess if a solvent has something dissolved in it:
* Compare the density of the liquid in question with a pure version of the solvent.
* Compare the conductivity of the liquid in question with a pure version of the solvent.

Not necessarily. It depends on the antibiotic and it distribution medium. If it requires shaking before use and is not transparent to light, it is a suspension and not a solution.

Is the copper is an example of solvent?
no it is a solution because a solution is a mixture of matter and is clear and cant see the diffrent types of matter in the mixture. a solvent is the larger part of the solution. for example say i mixed water and apple juice 70% water 30% apple juice the water would be the solvent. but if you melted metel and copper together (well mixed) more copper than metal then in that case copper would be the solvent

Does liquid solution have to be cloudy?
Yes, solutions have to be clear and cannot be cloudy, this means that they are always transparent and you can see through them. The word 'clear', however, should not be confused with the word 'colourless' as some solutions, like copper sulphate solution which is blue, maybe be coloured but they will still be clear or transparent.
