Document Summary

Solutions are defined as homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances. Often, one component of a solution is present at a significantly greater concentration, in which case it is called the solvent. The other components of the solution present in relatively lesser concentrations are called solutes. The subscript aq in the equation signifies that those molecules are solutes and are therefore individually dispersed throughout the aqueous solution (water is the solvent). Water is used so often as a solvent that the word solution has come to imply an aqueous solution to many people. However, almost any gas, liquid, or solid can act as a solvent. Many alloys are solid solutions of one metal dissolved in another. They are homogeneous; that is, after a solution is mixed, it has the same composition at all points throughout (its composition is uniform). The physical state of a solution, solid, liquid, or gas, is typically the same as that of the solvent.
