Hi student!

When one substance dissolves into another, a solution is formed.  A solution is a homogeneous mixture consisting of a solute dissolved into a solvent .  The solute is the substance that is being dissolved, while the solvent is the dissolving medium.  Solutions can be formed with many different types and forms of solutes and solvents.

• A solution is a homogeneous mixture of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent.
• solvent is the substance in which a solute dissolves to produce a homogeneous mixture
• Solute is the substance that dissolves in a solvent to produce a homogeneous mixture

We know of many types of solutions. Check out a few examples in the Table below.

Hope this helps!
