Yes. The ions in blood are dissolved in the water that makes up most of the blood.
Dissolved in plasma
The solute is dissolved in the solvent to form a solution.
Red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to all the cells of the body. Plasma, the liquid part of the blood, delivers essential dissolved materials, such as nutrients, proteins, electrolytes and hormones. Plasma also carries away dissolved waste products such as carbon dioxide, urea and lactic acid. When needed, the white blood cells are available to fight diseases and the platelets can form clots to stop bleeding.
The substance that is being dissolved is the solute.By convention, when discussing solutions we say that a solute is dissolved into a solvent.A solute is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution. For example, salt (the solute) is dissolved into water (the solvent) to form saline water (a solution).
In plasma, the quantity of oxygen in solution is small compared to the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin in red blood cells. The majority of oxygen in the blood is transported by binding to hemoglobin, with only a small fraction dissolved in plasma.
bicarbonate ions
Yes. The ions in blood are dissolved in the water that makes up most of the blood.
Dissolved in plasma
Blood "plasma" is the liquid outside of cells. In it are various dissolved substances. There are inorganic salts, also called "electrolytes" which are present in the form of dissolved ions. There are also plasma proteins. Some plasma proteins transport lipids, which are insoluble in water. The only way the lipids can travel in the blood is if they are bound to proteins. Immunoglobulins, another protein, are also found in the blood plasma. They are antibodies that help fight viruses that invade the body. There are also blood clotting factors in the blood plasma. Other substances in the blood plasma are nutrients, metabolic waste products, respiratory gases, and hormones.

Physically dissolved CO2 accounts for the least amount of CO2 transported in blood. The majority of CO2 is carried in the blood as bicarbonate ions and carbaminohemoglobin.

The solute.
Carbon dioxide is carried by blood in three forms: dissolved in plasma, as bicarbonate ions, and bound to hemoglobin. This allows for efficient transport of carbon dioxide from tissues to the lungs for elimination.
A solvent is a substance in which a solute is dissolved to form a solution. The solute can be solids, liquids, or gases that are dissolved in a solvent to create a homogeneous mixture. Examples include water (solvent) dissolving salt (solute) to form a saltwater solution.
