What is a solution?

A solution is a liquid mixture.

 In
the salt solution, salt is called the
solute and water is called the solvent.

 How Does a Solution Form?
1. Solvent molecules attracted to surface ions.
2. Each ion is surrounded by solvent molecules.
3. Enthalpy (DH) changes with each interaction broken or
formed.
.
• If the solvent is water, the ions are hydrated.

• The intermolecular force here is ion-dipole.

• The ions are solvated (surrounded by solvent)

Sugar solution

solution = solute + solvent

 When sugar is added to water and stirred, the

solid sugar is the solute and it dissolves in
water as the solvent and forms a sugar
solution.

Copper(II) sulfate solution

 If the solute is coloured, for

example, copper(II) sulfate, then the
solution produced will be clear and
coloured as shown.
