Name the different types of solutions. Give one example of each.

Solid - solid solution – Solution of two or more solids are generally known as solid-solid solution. For example – alloys.

Solid – Liquid solution – Solution of solid and liquid is called solid-liquid solution. For example - solution of salt and water.


Liquid – liquid solution – Solution of two miscible liquids are called liquid-liquid solution, such as solution of water and acetic acid. The solution of acetic acid in water is known as vinegar.


Gas - liquid solution – Solution of gas into liquid is called gas-liquid solution. For example – Soft drink.


Gas-gas solution – Solution of two or more gas is called gas-gas solution. For example – air, which is the solution of many gases, such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc.
