What is Solution?

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances where the solute is uniformly distributed at the molecular or ionic level within the solvent. Solutions can involve all combinations of states (gas in gas, gas in liquid, liquid in liquid, solid in liquid). The concentration of a solution can be expressed as molarity, molality, mole fraction, or mass percent. Solutions are essential in chemical reactions and biological systems.
