Is a solution just a solid dissolved in a liquid?

No, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent. The solute can be a solid, liquid, or gas, and the solvent is typically a liquid, but can also be a gas or solid.


Is solvent a mixture component that did NOT dissolve to form the mixture?

The solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves. The solvent does not itself dissolve because it is (usually) already a liquid. There are special cases. For example, it is possible for a gas to dissolve into a solid, in which case the solvent is a solid. Even then it is still true that the solvent does not itself dissolve. Only the solute dissolves.


What are the components of a solution and give its defnitions?

A solution has two components: a solvent and a solute. If the solvent is a gas then the solute must be a gas. If the solvent is liquid or solid then the solute can be gas, liquid or solid.A solution is a homogeneous mixture of the solvent and solute such that the bits of the solute cannot be seen by the naked eye. It is a stable mixture whose components cannot be separated by mechanical means.


Is solute always a solid?

Not necessarily. It may also be a gas or a solid. In any mixture, the component that is present in the largest proportion is known as a solvent. For example, in our atmosphere, Nitrogen (78% by volume) is the solvent. This is a gaseous mixture.

What characteristics do solutions have?

A solution is a homogeneous mixture that can be a liquid,solid, or gas depending on the solvent's state. It also has a solute that makes it up also. The various types of solutions are gas in gas, gas in liquid, liquid in liquid, solid in liquid, liquid in solid and solid in solid.


Why can a solution be made by a solid liquid and a gas?

A solution can be made with a solid, liquid, and gas because the solute from the solid and gas can dissolve in the liquid solvent to form a homogeneous mixture. The individual particles of the solid and gas mix with the liquid molecules, allowing for the creation of a solution.


When a solvent is cooled it will dissolve more gas more solid less gas or the same amount of solid or gas?

What is solute mixture?
