solution

Also known as solutions

homogeneous mixture composed of only one phase

AI overview

A solution is a uniform mixture where one substance (called the solute) is completely dissolved into another substance (called the solvent), creating a single, consistent phase throughout. Solutions matter because they're fundamental to countless everyday processes and products—from salt dissolving in water to medicines, cleaning products, and how nutrients travel through our bodies.

Making a saline water solution by dissolving table salt (NaCl) in water. The salt is the solute and the water the solvent.

In chemistry, a solution is defined by IUPAC as "A liquid or solid phase containing more than one substance, when for convenience one (or more) substance, which is called the solvent, is treated differently from the other substances, which are called solutes. When, as is often but not necessarily the case, the sum of the mole fractions of solutes is small compared with unity, the solution is called a dilute solution." One parameter of a solution is the concentration, which is a measure of the amount of solute in a given amount of solution or solvent. The term "aqueous solution" is used when one of the solvents is water.
