Not strictly. A solution requires that one thing is dissolved into another (the solute into the solvent). Neither of these is required to be a liquid.

However...in my experience, if someone says "in solution", they're referring to a liquid almost 100% of the time.

In the same way, it is unlikely you will need to worry about solid or gaseous solutions (which are usually referred to by a more specific name, anyhow).

Gives a good insight and some examples.

Also, you may want to have a quick read on colloids, which will add to the scope and give a better appreciation of how phases can interact with eachother.

Do all solutions have water in them?

liquid o2 has no hydrogen in it so not all liquids have water in them


Are all solution always liquid?

No, not all solutions are liquid. Solutions can exist in various states of matter, including solid, liquid, and gas. For example, a common solid solution is brass, which is a mixture of copper and zinc.


Are all solutions must be in the liquid state?

No, solutions can exist in different states of matter, not just in the liquid state. Solutions can exist in the solid, liquid, or gas state depending on the solvent and solute involved in the mixture.


What liquid will rust steel?

all acid solutions and most salt solutions and water in most formats


Are solutions always solution liquid?

No, because other solutions are not liquid


Are all solutions always liquid?

No, not all solutions are always liquid. Solutions can be in any state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas) depending on the solute and solvent combination and the conditions present. For example, a solution of sugar in water is a liquid, while a solution of carbon dioxide in water is a gas.


What do all liquid solutions have in common?

They all contain a solvent and a solute (or more solutes).


What are the classification of solutions according to phases?

Solutions can be classified into three categories based on phases: Gas-gas solutions: Solutions where both the solute and solvent are in the gas phase, such as air. Liquid-liquid solutions: Solutions where both the solute and solvent are in the liquid phase, such as sugar dissolved in water. Solid-liquid solutions: Solutions where the solute is a solid and the solvent is a liquid, such as salt dissolved in water.


Are solutions is always liquid?

no it is liquid!
