Chemistry Class 11 Chapter 9 Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. In such a mixture, a solute is dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent. The solvent does the dissolving. Usually, the substance present in the greatest amount is considered the solvent. Solvents can be gases, liquids, or solids. The solution has the same physical state as the solvent. Process of dissolution occurs due to breakage. and establishment of intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent molecules? Presence of volatile solute in solution decreases the vapour pressure of the solvent?
