  • Solutions: Understanding Liquid Mixtures with Dissolved Solids
    A liquid that has a solid dissolved in it is called a solution.

    While there isn't a specific scientific name for the liquid itself, the term "solution" encompasses both the liquid solvent and the dissolved solid solute.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Solvent: The liquid component of the solution (e.g., water).

    * Solute: The solid component that dissolves in the solvent (e.g., sugar).

    Therefore, a sugar solution would consist of water (the solvent) and dissolved sugar (the solute).
