1.) In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of only one phase. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent. The solvent does the dissolving. The solution more or less takes on the characteristics of the solvent including its phase, and the solvent is commonly the major fraction of the mixture. The concentration of a solute in a solution is a measure of how much of that solute is dissolved in the solvent.
2.) Solution
is a type of mixture that cannot be separated easily, such as by hand, with
magnets, or with common tools. A solution contains a solute and a solvent. The
solute is the substance in the mixture that will dissolve, which means that the
particles become too small to be seen. A solvent is a liquid, most commonly
water(the universal solvent). The solvent is the substance that actually does
the dissolving. Properties of a solution may change, but some may remain the
same. For example, the water may become sweet when you add sugar, but the water
will remain a liquid. The statement " a solution is always clear, but not
always colorless" means that the solution will be uniform, or the same
throughout, but may change color as a result of dissolving.
