What are the Types of Solution?

There are various types of classifications of solutions. On the basis of amount of solute, solutions can be classified as concentrated
and dilute solutions. Concentrated solutions contains large amount of solute whereas dilute solutions contains less amount of solute.

On the basis of physical states of solute and solvents, solutions can be classified as solid, liquid and gaseous solutions. Gaseous
solutions are usually homogenous mixtures of gases like air. In liquid solutions, gas, solid or liquid solute is mixed with liquid solvent.
Liquid solutions are very common like salt solution, sugar solution etc. In solid solutions, both solvent and solute are in solid state
like alloys, ceramics, and polymer blends.

Types of Solutions
Depending upon the dissolution of the solute in the solvent, solutions can be categorized into supersaturated,
unsaturated and saturated solutions.
 A supersaturated solution comprises of a large amount of solute at a temperature wherein it will be reduced as a
result the extra solute will crystallize quickly.
 An unsaturated solution is a solution in which solvent is capable of dissolving any more solute at given
temperature.
 A saturated solution can be defined as a solution in which solvent is not capable of dissolving any more solute at
given temperature.

Irregular Nouns That Don’t Change


Not all nouns follow the same rules. Some are exactly the same in their singular and plural
forms. The word sheep, for instance, can mean one woolly animal or many woolly animals.
The word aircraft can mean one airplane or many airplanes.
At the same time, some irregular nouns only exist in their plural form. For example, there’s
no singular form of scissors, pants, species, or shorts.
Irregular Nouns That End in -Y
Some irregular nouns that end in -y are made plural by changing the y to an iand adding -
es. For instance, baby becomes babies, and lady becomes ladies. But, if it ends in a vowel
followed by y, it’s actually a regular noun. For example, “Santa brings toys to children by
climbing down their chimneys.”
Irregular Nouns That End in -F
An irregular noun that ends in -f becomes plural by changing the f to a v, and adding -es.
So thief becomes thieves, and loaf becomes loaves. Similarly, if a noun ends in the
letters fe, you make it plural by changing the f to a v and adding -s, as in “A human has only
has one life, but cats are believed to have have nine lives.”
Irregular Nouns That End in -Us
Some irregular nouns end in -us, like alumnus and cactus. To make these words plural,
drop the -us and add an -i. For instance, “Many colleges request donations from alumni.”
There are, of course, exceptions to this rule. For instance, the aforementioned alumni
attended different college campuses, not college campi.
Irregular Nouns That Change Completely
Some irregular nouns don’t follow any established rules to become plural. For example, the
plural of person is people, the plural of woman is women, and the plural of goose is geese.
Similarly, mouse becomes mice in its plural form, while house becomes houses.
