Chemical solutions are homogeneous mixtures composed of two or more substances, where one substance (called the solute) is uniformly dispersed in another substance (called the solvent). In a chemical solution, the solute particles are evenly distributed at a molecular or ionic level throughout the solvent, resulting in a uniform composition and appearance.
Solutions can also be categorized based on the amount of solute dissolved in the solvent. These categories include:
- Dilute solutions: Solutions with a relatively small amount of solute dissolved in the solvent.
- Concentrated solutions: Solutions with a high amount of solute dissolved in the solvent.
- Saturated solutions: Solutions in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved at a given temperature.
- Supersaturated solutions: Solutions that contain more dissolved solute than theoretically possible at a given temperature. These solutions are usually unstable and can be easily triggered to crystallize.
