i. Review
 A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two substances: a solute and a
solvent.
 Solute: substance being dissolved; present in lesser amount.
 Solvent: substance doing the dissolving; present in larger amount.
 Solutes and solvents may be of any form of matter: solid, liquid or gas.

ii. Key Points

A solution is defined as a homogeneous mixture containing a solute and a
solvent. The solute (the substance being dissolved) is present in the lesser
amount in the solution, while the solvent (the substance that dissolves the
solute) is present in the larger amount. At the molecular level, molecules and
ions of a solute are completely mixed with and interact with those of the solvent
when a solute dissolve in a solvent. This type of mixing is homogeneous
because no boundary is visible in the entire solution. This interaction occurs
because of electrostatic attractions between the solute and solvent.
Since material can exist in three states (solid, liquid, and gas), there are nine
possible combinations of solute and solvent that can make up a solution:

1. Gaseous mixtures are usually

homogeneous and all gaseous mixtures
are gas-gas solutions. Most gases can
form solutions with each other (unless
they react with each other). The air is a
natural gas-gas solution. Air is made up
primarily of nitrogen (~78%) and oxygen
(~21%) with trace amounts of argon,
carbon dioxide and water vapor.
2. Liquid mixtures are our most easily
recognized mixtures. When molecules of
gas, solid or liquid are dispersed and
mixed with those of liquid, the
homogeneous states are called liquid
solutions. Solids, liquids and gases
dissolve in liquids to form liquid
solutions.
3. Solid Solutions are much lesson
common. Many alloys, ceramics, and
polymer blends are solid solutions.
Copper and zinc dissolve in each other
and harden to give solid solutions called
brass. Silver, gold, and copper form
many different alloys with unique colors
and appearances.

content subjects
i. Exercise 1: In each picture on the following page, there is an arrow that
points to a mixture described in the list above. Write the letter that shows
what kind of mixture it is below each picture.

a) a mixture of gases d) a mixture of gases in a liquid

b) a mixture of liquids e) a mixture of solids in a liquid
c) a mixture of solids f) a mixture of solids and gases
ii. Exercise 2
Directions: Identify if each item is a solid solution, liquid solution or gaseous
solution. Write your answer before the number. Then, label each item in the
solution as the solute or the solvent.
