A solution is formed as individual molecules from the solid are surrounded by molecules of solvent and then diffusing away from the surface of the solid being dissolved.

Which statement best describes the formation of a solution?

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two (or more) substances, such that particles of the solvent and solute cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. A solution is stable and its components cannot be separated by filtration or other mechanical means. A solution can be gas in gas, or it can be solid, liquid or gas in solid or liquid.


A mixture that forms when one substance dissolves in another?

It depends upon nature of substances for example when Glucose or Salt are dissolved in water no new substance is formed so these are physical changes but when Ammonia gas is dissolved in water Ammonium and hydroxide ions are formed so it is a chemical change.


Suppose you have a sugar solution and let it evaporate leaving sugar crystals behind. Are these minerals?

No, because a sugar solution is not a mineral. It is a user friendly, hands-on method of explaining how minerals are formed in nature.


Why drinking magnesium sulfate solution is effective in the treatment of barium poisoning?

This is possible because the baruim sulfate formed is insoluble.


If a solute crystallizes out of a solution when seed crystal is added what kind of solution is it?

It is a supersaturated solution. These solutions are formed when a saturated solution with excess solute in it (like saltwater with extra salt on the bottom) is heated until all the solute dissolves. When the solution is cooled, the extra solute remains in solution--thus supersaturated because more solute is dissolved than should be at that temperature. The seed crystal provides an opportunity for the extra solute to come out of solution.

How is a dilute solution formed?

A dilute solution is formed when a small amount of solute is dissolved in a large amount of solvent. This results in a solution with a low concentration of the solute. Dilute solutions are commonly formed by adding more solvent to a concentrated solution to decrease the concentration of the solute.


What is definition of crystallization?

This is a process where crystals are formed from a super saturated solution that is left undisturbed for a few days. A super saturated solution is formed when no more solute can dissolve in the solution.
