The relationship between the terms solution and mixture.
Introduction:
Water is vital to life on earth. Its properties allow life to exist on earth and help organisms maintain homeostasis. Humans cannot survive without water. Water is known as a universal solvent as many substances can be dissolved in it.
Explanation of Solution
When a powdered substance is added to water, it results in a mixture. A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that can retain its individual characteristics and properties. When a mixture has a uniform composition throughout, it is known as a homogeneous mixture or a solution. For example, in a sugar solution, the water retains its properties and the sugar retains its properties. The sugar particles are dissolved and uniformly spread throughout the water. A mixture where the components are distinct is known as heterogeneous mixture. Sand in water is an example of a heterogeneous mixture. There are two components in a solution- solvent and solute. The solvent is a substance in which another substance is dissolved. A solute is a substance that is dissolved in the solvent.
Mixtures are formed when two or more substances are mixed together with each retaining their individual properties. Solutions are homogeneous mixtures formed when a solute is dissolved in a solvent.
