What to Focus On

  • Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition.
  • A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
  • Heterogeneous mixtures are non-uniform.

  • Concentration tells how much solute is present in a fixed amount of solution or solvent.
  • % m/m or % w/w is used for mass-based concentration.
  • % m/v is common in medicines and laboratory solutions.

  • Solubility is temperature dependent.
  • A saturated solution cannot dissolve more solute at that temperature.
  • Solid solubility usually increases with temperature.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A solution, a colloid, and a suspension are all the same because all of them look mixed.

Blood is a true solution because it is a liquid mixture.

Tyndall effect is seen in solutions because all mixtures scatter light.
