Which statement about a solution is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A solution is a homogeneous mixture
A true solution is a homogeneous mixture, meaning its solute particles are distributed uniformly throughout the solvent. Every small portion has essentially the same composition. Solutions may involve solids, liquids or gases, and every solution has a solvent and at least one solute. Therefore the statements saying always heterogeneous, only solid, or no solvent are incorrect.
