What is a solution composed of?

Answer 1

A solution is a mixture of two or more substances in the same physical state, especially where one substance is held in a different phase state within another. The substance which maintains its phase is the solvent, and the dissolved substance is the solute. the combination is a mixture because no chemical reactions occur between the substances.

Gas phase solvents can only dissolve other gases.

Liquid phase solvents can dissolve any of the three phases (solid, liquid, gas).

Solids solvents can dissolve any of the three phases, but there are fewer instances in number (hydrogen or liquid Mercury in metals, and alloys which are technically solutions).

The solution form can have a different melting / freezing point than the separate elements or compounds.

Answer 2

A solution is composed of a solvent (usually the majority component) and a solute (dissolved substance). The solvent dissolves the solute to create a homogeneous mixture with uniform composition throughout. Additionally, solutions can sometimes contain additives such as stabilizers or preservatives.

Answer 3

Solution: a solute (or more) in a solvent.

Solute: the dissolved substance in a solvent. The solute must be soluble in the solvent.

Answer 4

A solute dissolved in a solvent constitutes a solution.

Answer 5

A solution is formed from a solvent and one or more solutes (the dissolved substances).

Answer 6

solvent and solute
