A solution is a mixture where a substance is dissolved in a liquid.

Once a substance is dissolved in water it is often not possible to see it anymore.

If a substance has a colour before it is dissolved the solution be will that colour.

Salt	Sugar

Salt dissolves in water to make a solution called Brine.	Sugar dissolves in water to make a solution.

A solution is a mixture where a substance is dissolved in a liquid.

Solutions are usually made of liquid that is known as a solvent and a solid which is known as a solute.

Some solutions are a mixture of two solvents, for example water and ethanol.


Brown sugar is the solute.	Water is the solvent.	The solute dissolves in the solvent to make a solution.


Copper Sulphate is the solute.	Water is the solvent.	The solute dissolves in the solvent to make a solution.


This diagram shows how the solute and solvent can be separated by heating the solution to evaporate the solvent leaving the solute behind and then condensing the evaporated solvent by cooling it down and collecting it in a conical flask.
