In chemistry, a solution is a The mixing process of a solution


Solution
homogenous mixture of two or happens at a scale where the
more substances in relative effects of chemical polarity are
amounts that can be varied involved, resulting in
continuously up to what is called interactions that are specific to
the limit of solubility. solvation

Solvent Solute

A substance, the substance that


ordinarily a liquid, dissolves in a
in which other solvent to produce
materials dissolve to a homogeneous
form a solution. mixture.
Salt Water

Different types of Solution on the bases of water as solvent

An aqueous solution is a solution in which the solvent is water. It is mostly


Aqueous Solution
shown in chemical equations by appending (aq) to the relevant chemical formula.
For example, a solution of table salt, or sodium chloride (NaCl), in water would be
represented as Na+(aq) + Cl−(aq).
A non-aqueous solution is a solution in which water is not the solvent. Examples
Non - Aqueous
of non-aqueous solutions are solutions used in dry cleaning (a solution of ethene in
Solution
the solvent dichloromethane). A solid solution is a solution in which a solid is a
solvent.

Different types of solutions on the bases of an amount of


solute added.

Saturated A solution, which at a given temperature dissolves as much as solute as it is


Solution capable of dissolving is said to be a saturated solution.

Unsaturated When the amount of solute contained in a solution is less than the saturation
Solution level, the solution is said to be an unsaturated solution.

Supersaturated A solution which contains more of the solute than required to make a saturation
Solution solution is called supersaturated solution.
Different types of solutions on the bases of an amount of
solvent added.

Concentated A Concentrated solution has a large amount of solute added to the given solvent to
Solution give concentrated solutions.

Dilute It is a solution having a small amount of solute in a large amount of solvent is


Solution called Dilute Solutions.

Different types of solutions on the bases of an amount of


concentration of solute in two solutions

A hypertonic solution is a particular type of solution that has a greater


Hypertonic
concentration of solutes on the outside of a cell when compared with the inside of a

cell.

Hypotonic A hypotonic solution is a solution that has a lower solute concentration compared
Solution to another solution.

If the medium has exactly the same water concentration as the cell, there will be
Isotonic
no net movement of water across the cell membrane. Such a solution is known as an

isotonic solution.

concentrations
- There are a number of ways to express the relative amounts of solute and solvent in a
solution. This page describes calculations for four different units used to express
concentration

- The concentration of a solution is a measure of the amount of solute that has been
dissolved in a given amount of solvent or solution.

Ways of expressing concentration
Normality

Number of gram equivalent of solute


( Substance ) dissolved in one liter Gram equivalent Weight of solute
( 1000 ml) of the solution is called Normality.
N
No. of Replacement H + & OH
Normality is indicated by (N)

Molarity

The number of moles of solute (Substance) Number of moles of solute


dissolved in one liter (1000 mL) of the solution M
is called Molarity. Molarity is indicated by (M) 1000 mL of Solution
- 1 gm in 1000 ml = 1 mol.

Molality

A molal solution contains 1 mole of solute per Number of mol. Wt. of substance
one kilogram of solution (1 lit. of solvent) is M
1000 gm of Solution (1 kg)
called Molality. Molality is indicated by M.

Percent Solution

Percent W/W Weight of solute/ Weight of Solution x 100


Sometimes the concentration is expressed in
terms of percent ( parts per hundred) also. Percent V/V Volume of solute/ Volume of Solution x 100
Percent composition of a solution can be
Percent W/V Weight of solute/ Volume of Solution x 100
expressed by:

Formality

The number of mass in grams present per liter of Formality Weight of solute (gm) 1
solution. In case, formula mass is equal to molecular
mass, formality is equal to molarity. Like molarity and Formula weight of solute x Volume of solutions
normality, the formality is also dependent on w 1
