In chemistry, a solution is a type of homogeneous mixture consisting of two or more substances in which one substance (the solute) is dissolved in another (the solvent). Because the mixture is homogeneous, a sample of a solution has the same appearance and concentration as any other sample.
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. A solution may exist in any phase. A solution consists of a solute and a solvent. The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent. The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent is called its solubility.
