“In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more
substances. In such a mixture, a solute is dissolved in another substance, known
as a solvent. A common example is a solid, such as salt or sugar, dissolved in
water, a liquid. Gases may dissolve in liquids, for example, carbon dioxide or
oxygen in water. Liquids may dissolve in other liquids. Gases can combine with
other gases to form mixtures, rather than solutions.
All solutions are characterized by interactions between the solvent phase and
solute molecules or ions that result in a net decrease in free energy. Under
such a definition, gases typically cannot function as solvents, since in the gas
phase interactions between molecules are minimal due to the large distances
between the molecules. This lack of interaction is the reason gases can expand
freely and the presence of these interactions is the reason liquids do not
expand.”
