BINARY SOLUTION :- A solution containing only one solute dissolved in a solvent is called binary solution.
SOLVENT AND SOLUTE :- A solvent is that component of the solution which is present in larger amount by mass than the other component, called as solute.
AQUEOUS AND NON- AQUEOUS SOLUTION :- Solutions in water are called aqueous solutions, and the solutions in which water is not the solvent are called non - aqueous solutions. Benzene , ether, carbon tetrachloride etc., are used as solvents in non aqueous solutions.
2. TYPES OF SOLUTIONS ON THE BASIS OF PHYSICAL STATE OF THE SOLVENT

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Solid | Solid | Solid in solid | Alloys(brass, bronze, 22 carat gold etc.) |
| 2. | Liquid | Solid | Liquid in Solid | Hydrated salts, Amalgam of Hg with Na |
| 3. | Gas | Solid | Gas in Solid | Dissolved gases in minerals or H2in Pd |
| 4. | Solid | Liquid | Solid in liquid | Salts/glucose/sugar/urea solution in water |
| 5. | Liquid | Liquid | Liquid in liquid | Methanol/Ethanol in water |
| 6. | Gas | Liquid | Gas in liquid | Aerated drinks, Oxygen in water |
| 7. | SOlid | Gas | Solid in gas | Iodine vapours in air, Camphor in N2gas |
| 8. | Liquid | Gas | Liquid in gas | Humidity in air, Chloroform in N2gas |
| 9. | Gas | Gas | gas in gas | Air ( N2 gas + O2 gas ) |
3. EXPRESSING CONCENTRATION OF SOLUTIONS
A). Percentage :
a). Mass % of a component ( w/w) = [Mass of the component in solution / Total mass of solution] x 100
b) Volume % of a component v/v) = [Volume of the component in solution / Total volume of solution] x 100
c) Mass/volume % of a component = [mass of the component in solution/ total volume of solution in ml] x 100
It is used for ionic compounds.
