what is solvent?what are the properties of solvent,solution?

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent.
A Solvent is the substance in which a solute dissolves to produce a homogeneous mixture

Characteristics of Solutions:
Solutions are homogeneous mixtures containing two or more substances called the solute and solvent.
The solute is the substance that dissolves. The solvent is the dissolving medium. When looking at a solution it is impossible to distinguish the solute from the solvent. A solution can exist as a solid, liquid or gas depending on the state of the solvent.
Types of Solutions and Examples
Type of Solution Example
Solvent Solute GAS Gas in gas Air Nitrogen(gas) Oxygen (gas) LIQUID Gas in liquid Carbonated water
Water(liquid) Carbon dioxide(gas) Liquid in liquid Vinegar Water (liquid) Acetic acid (liquid)
Solid in liquid Ocean water Water(liquid) NaCl(solid) SOLID Liquid in solid Dental amalgam Silver(solid) Mercury(liquid) Solid in solid Steel Iron(solid) Carbon(solid) Remember that a substance that dissolves in a solvent is said to be soluble in that solvent.
A substance that does not dissolve in a solvent is insoluble.
Two liquids that are soluble in each other are said to bemiscible such aswater and vinegar, coffee
and cream Liquids that are not soluble in each other are immiscible such as vegetable oil and vinegar
,gasoline and water
