Overview
Solutions are essential in chemistry, representing mixtures where solutes are uniformly distributed in solvents. Understanding solutions involves grasping concepts like vapor pressure, mole fraction, and colligative properties. Raoult's Law plays a crucial role in predicting how the addition of solu...
