Previously, we looked at the primary characteristics of a solution and how water is able to dissolve solid solutes. There are many examples of solutions that do not involve water at all, or solutions that involve solutes that are not solids. The table below summarizes the possible combinations of solute-solvent states, along with examples of each.
Solute State | Solvent State | Example |
---|---|---|
liquid | gas | water in air |
gas | gas | oxygen in nitrogen (gas mixture) |
solid | liquid | salt in water |
liquid | liquid | alcohol in water |
gas | liquid | carbon dioxide in water |
solid | solid | zinc in copper (brass alloy) |
liquid | solid | mercury in silver and tin (dental amalgam) |
Air is a homogeneous mixture of many different gases and, therefore, qualifies as a solution. Solid-solid solutions, such as brass, bronze, and sterling silver, are called alloys. Fish depend on oxygen gas that is dissolved in the water found in oceans, lakes and rivers (see figure below). While solid-liquid and aqueous solutions comprise the majority of solutions encountered in the chemistry laboratory, it is important to be aware of the other possibilities.
Figure .1 : Large aquariums like this salt-water tank have air continually bubbled into the water so that the fish have enough dissolved oxygen to breathe.
