Answer

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. Example: sugar dissolved in water forms a homogeneous liquid solution.

Answer

The component present in excess and whose physical state is the same as that of the solution is called the solvent. The other component present in smaller amount is called the solute. Example: in suga…

Answer

Binary solutions have 2 components, ternary solutions have 3 components, and quaternary solutions have 4 components.

Answer

In solid-liquid solutions, solid is always considered as the solute, regardless of relative amounts. Example: salt in water is a solid-liquid solution, so salt is the solute.

Answer

Mass percentage of solute = (Mass of solute / Mass of solution) × 100 Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent Example: 10 g solute in 100 g solution gives 10% by mass.

Answer

Mass percentage = (Mass of solute / Mass of solution) × 100 = (10 g / 100 g) × 100 = 10% Answer: 10% (by mass)…

Answer

Molarity (M) = number of moles of solute dissolved per litre of solution at a particular temperature. M = n / V It changes with temperature because volume changes with temperature.

Answer

Given: mass of NaOH = 4 g, molar mass = 40 g mol⁻¹, volume = 200 cm³ = 0.2 L Step 1: moles = 4/40 = 0.1 mol Step 2: M = n/V = 0.1/0.2 = 0.5 mol L⁻¹ Answer: 0.5 M…
