A solution is in chemistry defined as:
The substance (most often a liquid) in which another substance dissolves is called the solvent, while the dissolved substance is called the solute. The solution assumes the characteristics of the solvent (i.e., its phase) when the solvent is the larger fraction of the mixture, as is commonly the case. From this, the solute is usually the component of a solution present in the lesser amount. Solubility is the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent. The solubility of a substance in another is not unlimited, and how much solute you can solve in a solvent varies a lot. Tabulated values of solubility refer to max grams of solute in a given amount of the solvent.
A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute in the solvent, given by the solubility. Examples of common solutions:
The concentration of a solute in a solution is can be given as

A solution with a concentration of 1 mol/L is equivalent to 1 molar (1 M). From the definition, we can calculate the number of moles of the solute, n,: n = M * V [2]
