Question

fall final exam (2025 - m)
what is a solution?
a solution is made up of:
solvent
the larger amount
in a solution
and
solutes
substances in
lesser amounts
○ is a uniform mixture of 2 or more substances.
○ is often referred to as the universal solvent

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the options:

• The first option states a solution "is a uniform mixture of 2 or more substances". This aligns with the definition of a solution, as it consists of a solvent (larger amount) and solutes (lesser amounts) mixed uniformly.
• The second option, "is often referred to as the universal solvent", describes water (not a solution in general). So this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. is a uniform mixture of 2 or more substances
