A solution is a
liquid mixture consisting of a solvent (the liquid) and a dissolved substance (the solute). The
solute particles are uniformly distributed throughout a solution.
There are
many examples of solutions which can be found in a grocery store.
In the
Pharmacy section:
1. Saline solution is sold as a wound cleanser.
2. Hydrogen peroxide is sold in an aqueous solution. (Aqueous solutions are those in
which the solute is water.)
3. Alcohol is also sold as an aqueous
solution.
4. Various medicines (such as cough syrup) are sold as
solutions.
In the food section:
5. Syrup is a solution of
sugar and colorants in water.
6. Vodka is a solution of ethanol in
water.
7. Pulpless juice beverages are aqueous solutions. (Juices with pulp
are considered suspensions, not solutions).
8. Flavored oils are solutions
(eg. spicy peanut oil or garlic oil).
9. Soda pops are solutions of water,
sugar, carbon dioxide and flavors/colors.
10. Vinegar is an aqueous solution
of acetic acid and water.
