Solutions

" In chemistry, a solution is a homogenous mixture composed of only one phase. In such a mixture, a solute is dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent. The solvent does the dissolving." -Wikipedia

Solutions, as defined above, consist of two primary segments: a solute and a solvent. A simple example of the following is salt in water. When salt is placed in water it dissolves, and is no longer visible, creating a solution of salt water where the salt is the solute and water is the solvent.
