Solutions Introduction

Why are solutions classified as mixtures and not compounds

• The components of a solution are chemically combined

• The components of a solution are physically combined

• The components of a solution do not combine

• Solutions are heterogeneous

What type of mixture is a solution

• Homogeneous

• Heterogeneous

• Suspension

• a solution is not combined

Solutions are said to be in a ______________ phase even though the components may have been in different phases before the solution was formed.

• single

• completely solid always

• completely liquid always

• completely gas always
