How many types of solution are there on the basis of the type of solvent used?
Types of solution on the basis of type of solvent used-
1. Aqueous solution – an aqueous solution is made up of water (solvent) and a solute. Aqueous solution is a homogeneous solution in which a solute is uniformly dissolved in water. Aqueous solution examples include a solution of sugar and water, a solution of salt and sugar, oxygen dissolved in water, cola, salt solutions etc.
2. Non-aqueous solution - a solution in which a solvent other than water is used is called a non-aqueous solution. Non aqueous solution examples include petrol, phenolphthalein in benzene, liquid ammonia, sulfur in carbon disulfide etc.
