Explanation:

- A solution is defined as a homogeneous mixture of two (or more) substances. Homogeneous mixture means that the two (or more) substances in the solution have the same proportions at any place inside the mixture.

A solution includes:

- A solvent: the solvent is the substance where the solute is dissolved in

- A solute: the solute is the substance which is dissolved in the solvent

An example of solution is salt dissolved in water. In this case, the water is the solvent, while the salt is the solute.
