This document provides a review sheet on unit 8 solutions that includes: 1) defining a solution as having a solvent and solutes dissolved in it, 2) noting that water is the most common solvent forming aqueous solutions, 3) listing examples of true solutions including gas-gas, liquid-liquid, solid-liquid, gas-liquid, and solid-liquid, and 4) comparing the characteristics of solutions, colloids, and suspensions such as particle size, permanence, settling, filtering, the Tyndall effect, and effect on colligative properties.
