Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more than two components.
There are three types of solutions:
(i) Gaseous solution: The solvent is a gas and solute may be liquid, solid or gas.
Example includes a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen gases.
(ii) Liquid solution: The solvent is a liquid and the solute may be gas, liquid or solid.
Example includes a solution of ethanol in water.
(iii) Solid solution: The solvent is a solid. The solute may be gas, liquid or solid.
Example includes a solution of copper in gold.
