Introduction to Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. The substance present in the largest amount is called the solvent, and the other substance(s) are called solute(s). Solutions can exist in various phases (solid, liquid, or gas), but in AP Chemistry, we primarily focus on aqueous solutions, where the solvent is water.
