Type of Solution

It is a homogenous mixture containing 2 or more components.
Binary Solution
It is the homogenous mixture of two components

1. Solvent: component that is present in the largest quantity
2. Solute: it is the components which is disolved is solvent

Type of solvent decides physical state in which solution exists

• When the solvent is in solid state, solution is called solid solution.

  Solute	Solvent	Example
  Gas	Solid	Solution of hydrogen in palladium
  Liquid	Solid	Amalgam of mercury with sodium
  Solid	Solid	Copper dissolved in gold

   

• When the solvent is in liquid state, solution is called liquid solution.

  Solute	Solvent	Example
  Gas	liquid	Oxygen dissolved in water
  Liquid	liquid	Ethanol dissolved in water
  Solid	liquid	Salt dissolved in water

   

• When the solvent is in gaseous state, solution is called gaseous solution.

  Solute	Solvent	Example
  Gas	Gas	Mixture of oxygen and nitrogen gases
  Liquid	Gas	Chloroform mixed with nitrogen gas
  Solid	Gas	Camphor in nitrogen gas
