What are ten examples of solutions that you might find in your home?

Solutions are formed by mixing solute in a solvent. Thus, a solution is a homogeneous mixture. We can find a number of solutions in our homes. Here is a brief list:


  1. Salt water is formed when we mix salt (generally table salt) in water. Here, water is the solvent and salt is the solute.

  2. Sugar water is formed by mixing sugar in water.

  3. Mouthwash consists of a number of chemicals dissolved in water. 

  4. Tincture of iodine is obtained by dissolving crystals of iodine in alcohol.

  5. Soda contains sugar, carbon dioxide, color, etc. in water.

  6. Kool Aid contains sugar and color in water.

  7. Vinegar is obtained when we mix acetic acid in water.

  8. Hydrogen peroxide solution is typically a 3-6% solution of hydrogen peroxide. This is formed by mixing hydrogen peroxide in water.

  9. Detergent solution is obtained by mixing detergent in water.

  10. Window cleaner consists of a number of chemicals and fragrance in water. 

Hope this helps.
