(a) Define solution.
(b) Give different types of solutions with one example each.

• Based on solvent—Aqueous and non-aqueous Aqueous solution has water as solvent (sugar + water) Non-aqueous solution has some other solvent but not water. Example, (sulphur + carbon disulphide)
• Depending on the amount of solute dissolved in solvent—The dilute solution and concentrated solution. Dilute solution—Less amount of solute particles are present in a solvent. Concentrated solution—Amount of solute present in its maximum capacity in a solvent.
• Amount of solute present in its maximum capacity at a given temperature—Saturated and unsaturated solution. Saturated solution—It is a solution in which no more solute can further dissolve in a given solvent at a given temperature. Unsaturated solution—It is a solution in which some more solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature.
• Depending on the size of solute particles- True solution- Size is very small and particles cannot be seen through naked eyes. Suspension - Size is very big and can be seen through naked eyes. Colloid - Size is intermediate between true solution and suspension.
