9 Types of Solution | Chemistry

Summary

This lecture introduces the concept of solutions as homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances, highlighting the roles of solute and solvent. It categorizes solutions into three main types based on the state of the solute: liquid, solid, and gas solutions. Examples include clouds (liquid in gas), sugar in water (solid in liquid), and air (gas in gas). The video also explores the nine distinct types of solutions, providing clear examples to enhance understanding, making it a comprehensive guide for learners.

Takeaways

• 😀 A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
• 😀 The two main components of a solution are the solvent (present in larger amount) and the solute (present in smaller amount).
• 😀 An example of a solution is sugar dissolved in water, where water is the solvent and sugar is the solute.
• 😀 A binary solution consists of two components, such as sugar and water.
• 😀 There are three types of liquid solutions: liquid in gas (e.g., clouds), liquid in liquid (e.g., alcohol in water), and liquid in solid (e.g., gems in butter).
• 😀 Smoke is an example of a solid in gas solution, where solid particles are suspended in air.
• 😀 Sugar dissolved in water illustrates a solid in liquid solution.
• 😀 Alloys are examples of solid in solid solutions, made from two or more metals.
• 😀 Gas solutions include gas in gas (e.g., air), gas in liquid (e.g., carbonated drinks), and gas in solid (e.g., hydrogen in platinum).
• 😀 Understanding these nine types of solutions is crucial for grasping the concept of mixtures in chemistry.

Q & A

What is a solution?

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.

What are the main components of a solution?

A solution consists of two main components: the solute, which is present in a smaller amount, and the solvent, which is present in a larger amount.

Can you give an example of a binary solution?

An example of a binary solution is sugar dissolved in water, where sugar is the solute and water is the solvent.

What are the three types of liquid solutions?

The three types of liquid solutions are liquid in gas, liquid in liquid, and liquid in solid.

What is an example of a liquid in gas solution?

An example of a liquid in gas solution is cloud or fog, where water vapor is dissolved in air.

What examples illustrate solid solutions?

Examples of solid solutions include smoke (solid in gas), sugar in water (solid in liquid), and alloys (solid in solid).

What are the three types of solid solutions?

The three types of solid solutions are solid in gas, solid in liquid, and solid in solid.

What is an example of gas in gas solution?

An example of a gas in gas solution is air, which is a mixture of different gases.

What is a gas in liquid solution example?

An example of a gas in liquid solution is carbonated drinks, where carbon dioxide is dissolved in water.

What does the term 'binary solution' refer to?

A binary solution refers to a solution made up of two components, such as a solute and a solvent.
