Solutions are homogeneous mixtures formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent, creating a uniform blend at the molecular level. Saturation is reached when the solvent can no longer dissolve more solute, resulting in a stable mixture. Dilution, on the other hand, involves adding more solvent to decrease the concentration of the solution. Scientists use various techniques like filtration to separate solid particles, evaporation to concentrate solutions by removing the solvent, and crystallization to form solid crystals. The behavior of solutions is influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute and solvent.
