Types of Solutions - Practice Questions & MCQ

The solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more chemically non-reacting substances whose composition can be varied within certain limits. A solution that contains only two components is called a binary solution. The component which has the same physical state as the solution is the solvent. In case both the components have the same physical state, then the component which is present in a larger amount is called the solvent and the other present in a smaller amount is called the solute.

The solutions may be gaseous, liquids, and solids. The most common type of solution is the liquid solution (gas in liquid, liquid in liquid, solid in liquid). In all, we can divide solutions into nine different classes as follows:
