- #1Define
the term solution. How many types of solutions are formed? Write
briefly about each type with an example.Ans : Homogeneous mixtures of
two or more than two components are known as solutions.
There are three types
of solutions.
(i) Gaseous
solution:
The
solution in which the solvent is a gas is called a gaseous solution.
In these solutions, the solute may be liquid, solid, or gas. For
example, a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen gas is a gaseous solution.
(ii) Liquid
solution:
The
solution in which the solvent is a liquid is known as a liquid
solution. The solute in these solutions may be gas, liquid, or solid.
For
example, a solution of ethanol in water is a liquid solution.
(iii) Solid
solution:
The
solution in which the solvent is a solid is known as a solid
solution. The solute may be gas, liquid or solid. For example, a
solution of copper in gold is a solid solution.
