Describing The Appearance and Uses of A Solution

A solution is a homogeneous mixture where the components are mixed thoroughly and appear as a single substance throughout. Solutions can take several forms, including solids dissolved in liquids like sugar in water, liquids dissolved in liquids like alcohol and water, gases dissolved in liquids like carbon dioxide in soda, and gases dissolved in gases like the mixture of gases that make up air. Solutions retain the chemical properties of their components and have the same composition and properties throughout the mixture.

DESCRIBING THE APPEARANCE AND USES OF A

SOLUTION

A SOLUTION IS A HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE.


HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE HAS THE SAME
PROPERTIES THROUGHOUT THE SAMPLE. IT
MEANS THAT THE SUBSTANCES MIXED
THOROUGHLY, AFTER STIRRING, APPEARED AS
ONE SUBSTANCE. YOU CAN NO LONGER
DISTINGUISH ONE COMPONENT FROM THE
OTHER.
AN EXAMPLE IS A MIXTURE OF SUGAR IN WATER.
WHEN SUGAR DISSOLVES IN WATER, THE TWO
SUBSTANCES APPEAR AS ONE. THE SUGAR
PARTICLES CAN NO LONGER BE IDENTIFIED.
HOWEVER, THE TASTE OF THE WATER PROVES
THAT THE SUGAR WAS NOT LOST AFTER MIXING.
ITS CHEMICAL PROPERTY IS RETAINED AND SO
THE WATER TASTE SWEET.
THERE ARE FOUR TYPES OF SOLUTIONS. ALL THESE
TYPES ARE HOMOGENEOUS.

1. SOLID IN LIQUID

A SOLID SUBSTANCE IS DISSOLVED IN A LIQUID


SUBSTANCE.
EXAMPLES ARE SUGAR IN WATER, SALT IN WATER,
JUICE POWDER IN WATER, OR COFFEE IN WATER.
2. LIQUID IN LIQUID

A LIQUID SUBSTANCE CAN ALSO BE DISSOLVED IN


ANOTHER LIQUID AND THESE TWO SUBSTANCES
CAN BE MIXED THOROUGHLY.
EXAMPLES OF THESE ARE ALCOHOL AND WATER,
WINE AND SODA WATER, CONCENTRATED FRUIT
JUICE IN WATER, OR LIQUID MILK AND WATER.
3. GAS IN LIQUID

CERTAIN LIQUIDS CONTAIN GASEOUS SUBSTANCES.


SOFT DRINKS APPEAR AS LIQUID, BUT THEY
ACTUALLY CONTAIN CARBON DIOXIDE GAS. THIS
CAN BE OBSERVED WHEN A BOTTLE OF SOFT DRINK IS
SHAKEN OR OPENED, BUBBLES APPEAR AND GAS IS
RELEASED. OXYGEN IS ALSO PRESENT IN WATER.
PLANTS USE THEM DURING THE FOOD – MAKING
PROCESS. THERE IS ALSO OXYGEN IN THE BLOOD,
AND THIS MAKES OUR CELLS FUNCTION WELL.
4. GAS IN GAS

AIR IS A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF GAS IN A GAS


SOLUTION. IT IS A MIXTURE OF SEVERAL GASES –
OXYGEN, NITROGEN, CARBON DIOXIDE, AND
OTHERS.
5. SOLID IN SOLID

STEEL, BASICALLY A SOLUTION OF CARBON


ATOMS IN A CRYSTALLINE MATRIX OF IRON
ATOMS. ALLOYS LIKE BRONZE AND MANY
OTHERS. POLYMERS CONTAINING PLASTICIZERS.
