Types of Solution

The document describes different types of solutions: 1) Solutions can be unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated. Unsaturated solutions contain less solute than the solvent can dissolve. Saturated solutions contain the maximum amount of solute the solvent can dissolve. Supersaturated solutions contain more solute than a saturated solution. 2) The components of a solution can be solids, liquids, or gases. The solvent is the component present in large quantity that dissolves the solute, which is present in smaller quantity. 3) Examples of different types of solutions are provided based on the state of the solute and solvent, such as oxygen dissolved in nitrogen gas or salt dissolved

Activity Title : Types of Solutions

Learning Target/Competency : Describe the different types of solutions


Values/Graduate Attributes : Learners will become critical thinkers
Reference(s) & Author(s): ELTS Series: General Chemistry 2 by Bayquen and Peña Page(s) No. 29-30

I. Concept Notes

Solutions mixtures of two or more substances evenly distributed throughout


a single phase.

Components of a Solution
The components of a solution may be solid, liquid, or gas. However,
the resulting phase of the solution normally depends on the phase
of the solvent.
Binary Solution A solution consisting of two (2) components

Solvent The component which is present in large quantity and


serves as the dissolving medium

Solute The component which is present in small quantity

UnSaturated Contains less solute than the solvent’s capacity to


dissolve, meaning that the solution can still dissolve more
solute

Saturated Contains the maximum amount of solute that the solvent


can dissolve at a certain temperature

Supersaturated Contains more dissolved solute than is present in a


saturated solution (crystallization)
