Chapter 13: Solutions

A solution is an intermingled mixture of two or more substances. Our many daily encounters with Chemistry - the air we breathe, the water from the tap, some of the food we eat, and many products that we buy - are encounters with solutions. In Chapter 13, we will learn what a solution is, how it is formed, and how we can describe them quantitatively.
