What is an aqueous solution?
- An aqueous solution is a mixture where a substance, known as the
solute, is dissolved in water, which is the solvent. In simpler terms, it’s
when something (solute) is mixed and evenly spread out in water (solvent)
What are solutes? What are solvents?

-A solute is a substance that gets dissolved in a solvent to form a solution.
A solvent is the substance that does the dissolving
What is a solution?
A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
A solution is a uniform combination made up of a solute
that has been dissolved in a solvent.
The substance being dissolved is known as the solute, and
the dissolving agent is known as the solvent. Solutions can
be created using a wide variety of solutes and solvents.
What is a solution?
A solute that has been dissolved in a solvent creates a
homogeneous mixture known as a solution.
Descriptions of Aqueous Solutions
Aqueous solutions are made up of water and one or more
dissolved materials. Solids, gases, or other liquids can all
dissolve in an aqueous solution.
A homogenous combination known as an aqueous solution
contains water as its main constituent. Usually, the
additional substance(s) are added in liquid or solid form, and
then they are thoroughly incorporated into the water.

Adding salt to water
What will happen if we mix water with table salt?

dissolution
When water and brown sugar are mixed thoroughly, the sugar will
eventually dissolve completely in the water, resulting in a transparent
solution with no visible solid particles.
This occurs because the water molecules surround and break apart the
sugar molecules, causing them to disperse evenly throughout the
solution until no solid remains.

dissolution
when salts dissolve in water
Salt is made up of little objects called "salt molecules."
The salt molecules dissolve and combine with the
water when salt is added to water and agitated
When water is churned, "water molecules," which are
made of water, function as magnets to draw the salt
molecules.
when salts dissolve in water
Salt molecules disappear into the water, generating a
solution, while additional water molecules attach to
them.

process
difference between concentration
and dilution
In order to increase the amount of solute in a solution, a
concentration entails decreasing the amount of solvent present.
This can be done by increasing the amount of solute in the
solution without altering the solvent concentration.

examples of dilution process
examples of dilution process
Dilution is the process of increasing the solvent content of a solution in
order to lower the solute concentration.
As a result, the solutes are spread throughout a vast amount of solvent,
resulting in a less concentrated solution. Therefore, dilution just raises the
overall volume of the solution; it does not entail adding extra solute.

dilution of a solution
summary
Aqueous solution
An aqueous solution is a mixture where substance (solute) is dissolved uniformly in
water (solvent).
Concentration refers to how much solute is present in a given amount of solvent or
solution. Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of solution by adding
more solvent.
summary
The difference between an aqueous solution and a non-aqueous solution is that
water is the solvent like seawater, while non-aqueous solution is a solution in which
the solvent is something other than water like alcohol.
