solution properties

Solution properties refer to the characteristics of a mixture formed when a substance (the solute) is dissolved in another (the solvent). Key properties include concentration, which indicates how much solute is present relative to the solvent, and saturation, which describes whether a solution can dissolve more solute. Other properties include boiling point elevation and freezing point depression, where a solution has different boiling and freezing points compared to the pure solvent. These properties are crucial in various fields, from cooking and chemistry to environmental science, influencing everything from recipes to how pollutants behave in water.
