<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- Solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances uniformly dispersed throughout a single phase
- <em><u>The liquid component that makes up the largest part of a solution is called the solvent, and the substance that is dissolved is called the solute.</u></em>
