Question:
What is a solution? What are the properties of a solution?
Answer:
A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances is called a solution. Properties of a solution
- A solution is a homogeneous mixture i.e. the solute and solvent molecules cannot be distinguished even under a microscope.
- The particles of a solution are smaller than 1 nm in diameter. So, they cannot be seen by naked eyes.
- A true solution is clear and transparent ( A few may be coloured one but clear. e.g. Copper Sulphate solution)
- Because of very small particle size, they do not scatter a beam of light passing through the solution. So, the path of light is not visible in a solution.
- The solute particles cannot be separated from the mixture by the process of filtration.
- The solute particles do not settle down when left undisturbed, that is, a solution is stable.
