Which of the following statements about solutions is NOT true?

Select one:

a. A solution has the same properties throughout.

b. Solutions contain a solvent dissolved in a solute.

c. The solute in a solution can be a solid, liquid, or gas.

d. Solutions are mixtures.

Answer:B

Explanation:

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. A solution may exist in any phase. A solution has two components. The minor component solute is dissolved in a major component called solvent.

Any option that claims against this definition is wrong.

option A:

Since the solution is homogeneous, it has same properties throughout.

option B:

Solutions contain solute dissolved in solvent not solvent dissolved in solute.

option C:

The solution can be in any phase.

option D:

Solutions are a kind of mixtures because they have no chemical interactions among the solute and solvent particles.

So, option B is wrong.
