Solutions and Solubility

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of solute(s) dissolved in a solvent. Solubility depends on factors like temperature, pressure, and the nature of solute-solvent interactions (polarity, hydrogen bonding). For example, sugar is soluble in water but insoluble in oil. Henry’s law describes how gas solubility in a liquid relates to partial pressure above it. Knowledge of solutions is essential in pharmaceuticals, food chemistry, and many industrial processes.
