    Solution

    A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, where one substance (the solute) is
    dissolved in another (the solvent). For example, salt dissolved in water creates a saline solution.

    Solvent
    A solvent is a substance that DISSOLVES a solute, resulting in a solution. It is typically a liquid
    but can also be a solid or gas. In most common cases, solvents are liquids, such as water, alcohol,
    or acetone, and they facilitate chemical reactions by allowing solutes to disperse uniformly. The
    solvent's properties, such as polarity, boiling point, and viscosity, influence the solubility of
    different solutes and the overall behavior of the solution. The universal solvent is WATER

    Solute
    A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution. It can be a solid, liquid, or
    gas and is present in a lesser amount compared to the solvent. For example, in a saltwater
    solution, salt is the solute that dissolves in water (the solvent). The solute's properties, such as
    solubility and concentration, affect the characteristics of the resulting solution.

    A solution is classified into 2 DEGREE OF SATURATION and PHYSICAL STATE OF


    SOLUTE AND SOLVENT.

    Degree of Saturation
    The degree of saturation refers to the extent to which a solvent has dissolved a solute at a given
    temperature and pressure. It is typically expressed as a percentage, indicating how much solute is
    present in comparison to the maximum amount that can be dissolved in the solvent.

    Unsaturated: An unsaturated solution is a type of solution that contains less solute than the
    maximum amount that can be dissolved in the solvent at a given temperature and pressure. In
    this state, the solution has the capacity to dissolve additional solute.

    Saturated: A saturated solution is a type of solution in which the maximum amount of solute
    has been dissolved in a solvent at a specific temperature and pressure. In this state, the solution
    has reached its saturation point, and any additional solute added will not dissolve.

    Over Saturated: An oversaturated solution is a type of solution that contains more solute
    than can theoretically be dissolved in the solvent at a given temperature and pressure. This
    condition occurs when a saturated solution is created and then additional solute is added

    In summary unsaturated basically means we can add more solute, saturated means its perfect na,
    and over saturated too much solute is added in a solvent.

    A way to quantitate the degree of saturation is by using the PERCENT MASS FORMULA
    PRACTICE PROBLEMS
    Problem: You dissolve 10 grams of salt in 90 grams of water. What is the percent by mass of the
    salt in the solution?

    You mix 10.2 grams of potassium nitrate with 89.8 grams of water. What is the percent by mass
    of potassium nitrate in the solution?

    Problem: You dissolve 15.75 grams of sugar and 4.85 grams of salt in 80.5 grams of water. What
    is the percent by mass of sugar in the solution?
