Solution Solution In chemistry, a solution is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. The term aqueous solution is when one of the solvents is water. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent. The mixing process of a solution happens at a scale where the effects of chemical polarity are involved, resulting in interactions that are specific to solvation. The solution assumes the phase of the solvent when the solvent is the larger fraction of the mixture, as is commonly the case. The concentration of a
Extraction (chemistry) Extraction (chemistry) Extraction in chemistry is a separation process consisting in the separation of a substance from a matrix. It includes "Liquid-liquid extraction", and "Solid phase extraction". The distribution of a solute between two phases is an equilibrium condition described by partition theory. This is based on exactly how the analyte move from the water into an organic layer. There exist several types of extraction, including: "liquid–liquid extraction", "solid-phase extraction",and "acid-base extraction." In liquid-liquid extraction compounds separate according to their relative solubility in two different immiscible liquid phases. This technique has been applied in several fields such as analytical chemistry
