\so*lu"tion\ (s&osl;*lū"shŭn), n. [oe. solucion, of. solucion, f. solution, fr. l. solutio, fr. solvere, solutum, to loosen, dissolve. see solve.]
1. the act of separating the parts of any body, or the condition of undergoing a separation of parts; disruption; breach. in all bodies there is an appetite of union and evitation of solution of continuity.
2. the act of solving, or the state of being solved; the disentanglement of any intricate problem or difficult question; explanation; clearing up; -- used especially in mathematics, either of the process of solving an equation or problem, or the result of the process.
3. the state of being dissolved or disintegrated; resolution; disintegration. it is unquestionably an enterprise of more promise to assail the nations in their hour of faintness and solution, than at a time when magnificent and seductive systems of worship were at their height of energy and splendor. taylor.
4. (chem.phys.) the act or process by which a body (whether solid, liquid, or gaseous) is absorbed into a liquid, and, remaining or becoming fluid, is diffused throughout the solvent; also, the product reulting from such absorption.
note: when a solvent will not take in any more of a substance the solution is said to be saturated. solution is two kinds; viz.: (a) mechanical solution, in which no marked chemical change takes place, and in which, in the case of solids, the dissolved body can be regained by evaporation, as in the solution of salt or sugar in water. (b) chemical solution, in which there is involved a decided chemical change, as when limestone or zinc undergoes solution in hydrochloric acid. mechanical solution is regarded as a form of molecular or atomic attraction, and is probably occasioned by the formation of certain very weak and unstable compounds which are easily dissociated and pass into new and similar compounds.
note: this word is not used in chemistry or mineralogy for fusion, or the melting of bodies by the heat of fire.
5. release; deliverance; discharge. [obs.]
6. (med.) (a) the termination of a disease; resolution. (b) a crisis. (c) a liquid medicine or preparation (usually aqueous) in which the solid ingredients are wholly soluble. s. disp.

solution
a mixture of a solvent and a solute. In some solutions, such as sugar water, the substances mix so thoroughly that the solute cannot be seen. But in other solutions, such as water mixed with dye, the solution is visibly changed.

Solution
(1) Form of chemical weathering where rocks and minerals are dissolved by water. Materials entering the mixture can alter the chemical nature of the solution and can increase the strength of this weathering agent. For example, the mixing of carbon dioxide and water can form carbonic acid. (2) The dissolving of a substance into a liquid.

SOLUTION
In karst study, the change of bedrock from the solid state to the liquid state by combination with water. In physical solution the ions of the rock go directly into solution without transformation. In chemical solution acids take part, especially the weak acid formed by carbon dioxide (CO2).

Solution
In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. In such a mixture, a solute is dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent. A common example is a solid, such as salt or sugar, dissolved in water, a liquid. Gases may dissolve in liquids, for example, carbon dioxide or oxygen in water. Liquids may dissolve in other liquids and gases always mix with other gases.
