 What is
solution?
Solution is a homegeneous mixture!
 Solution
It composed of two
or more substances
physically
combined together
which are well-
mixed.
 Solution
The particles are
evenly spread
throughout and so
small to be seen by
eyes.
 Dissolution
It is the process
wherein solutions
are formed.

 Solubility
A measure of
maximum amount
of solute that will
dissolve in a given
amount of solvent
at a certain
temperature.
 Unsaturated
•A type of solution
that contains less
solute than the
maximum amount
it can dissolve.
•It can still dissolve
more solute.
 Saturated
•A type of solution
that contains
maximum amount
of solute that can
dissolve in a given
amount of solvent.
•Presence of
undissolved
substance.
 Supersaturated
•A solution that
contains more than
the expected amount
of solute can be
prepared by heating a
saturated solution
that contains
undissolved solids.
 Supersaturated
•The particles in a
supersaturated solution
are so close together
that a slight disturbance
such as stirring and
moving the solution can
cause these particles to
move together and
form crystals.

Answer:
 The mass/volume percent of a solution is
defined as the ratio of the mass of solute that
is present in a solution, relative to the volume
of the solution, as a whole.

For example, rubbing alcohol sold in stores

often has a concentration of 70% isopropyl
alcohol.
