Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The term solvent, solution and solute needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
A solution may contain two or more substances which are called components of the solution.
Explanation of Solution
Solutions are the homogenous or heterogeneous combination of two or more substances whose composition can be varied within certain limits. An aqueous solution occurs when a substance is dissolved in a liquid, typically that liquid is water. Substance which is dissolved in the liquid is called solute. Liquid which makes up the majority of the solution is called solvent.
Thus, solvent is the component of the solution which is present in major concentration. The solute is the component which is present in minor concentration and dissolves in the solvent.
A solution is formed when solute is added to the solvent.
