Abstract

A solution (real solution) is a homogeneous combination of at least two components: a solute, which can be either a solid (salts, such as sodium chloride (NaCl), calcium chloride (CaCl2), liquid (alcohols, such as ethanol, ethanol...), gas (CO2, O2), or liquid and a solvent, which can be a liquid. The expansion, which takes place at the molecular or ionic level, produces homogenous products over the whole solution. The material that is present in the largest amount is the solvent (dispersion liquid for other chemical compounds). Any material added to the solvent and "dissolved" within is referred to as the solute.
