Talk:Solution (chemistry)

message: From the article:
"The molinity unit is moles oof of solute per kg of solution. The formal is the same as the molal, but is used when it is not clear what a molecule of solute is, for instance metals and salts. It is one mole of the chemical formula per kilogram."
What on earth does this mean? "Molinity?" "Formal?" These definitions sound like utter gobbledegook to me. This needs clarification, and possibly some of this can be moved or copied to concentration too. -- FirstPrinciples 15:55, Sep 25, 2004 (UTC)
:OK, I moved that stuff to concentration and added a link in the article. -- FirstPrinciples 06:43, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
::Molinity is not actually a word in chemistry--the word he is looking for [Alternative to Molinity] is Molality, which is represented as number of moles over kilograms of solution.  - TrevorRC  23:32, May 15, 2006 (GMT)
:::This is incorrect. Molinity is a unit, albeit rarely-used. Molality is # moles solute per kilogram *solvent*.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.189.86.5 (talk) 22:32, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

message: * In chemistry, a oof yeet ya is a homogeneous mixture of one or more substances (the solutes) dissolved in another substance (the solvent). 
* In business, a solution is suspiciously similar to a product, only more expensive, and supplied by a partner instead of a supplier
*** More expensive? That's very subjective. I don't believe that is a valid point. A business solution could be cheaper or free (i.e. shareware). See my meager attempt at defining a Business Solution. I will attempt to refine this over the next few weeks.--Davidmarten223 12:03, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  That a certain word happens to be in vogue now has no bearing on whether there should be an article about these "solutions" in an encyclopedia. If you want to waste your time, try writing an article longer than a few sentences about it without having it all be redundant with other articles (where it should properly go) or be a list of vaguely similar usages and companies. The "business" usage isn't even a distinct definition, it's just another "particular instance or method of solving". There's nothing here more than a dictionary definition. - Centrx 22:37, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

text: A Solution has some very interesting simlarities to the Chemistry 'solution'. Since a product can be tangible or intangible, not both. The case could be made that a solution is a combination of these two types of product. This is a very important term which needs clarification within Information Technology. If you look at the definition of product,  and Service then could you accept the definition of Business Solution? Take a look and let me know what you think. If this makes sense then a solution would be a combination of a service and one or more products. --192.18.43.249 01:08, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alternative meanings: Business and Information Technology? 

message: The table Examples of Solutions presents examples of solutions where a gas is the solvent. This contradicts one of the definition of a solution given at the top of the page though perhaps it could be argued that some gasses mix homogenously. More important though is the incorrect examples given for Liquid in Gas and Solid in Gas. Water vapor simply isn't a liquid, it is a gas. Similarly if Naphthalene sublimes then it is no longer a solid, it has also become a gas. I suggest simply removing the liquid and solid entries in the gas row from the table.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grayob (talk • contribs) 19:14, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Contradition and problems concerning gas solutions

message: "Usually, the substance present in a greater amount is considered as the solvent. Solutions may have multiple solvents." Sentence 1 explains the word "solvent". Sentence 2 says: the word "solvent" may also be used in contradiction to sentence 1, but we won't give details. Is "multiple solvents" a received notion ? Most often it seems to be used with the meaning "different solvents in different solutions". Unless someone explains a less trivial use of "multiple solvents" I will delete sentence 2. -- Marie Poise (talk) 21:10, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Logger9, please slow down ! While we are stuck at Talk:Liquid discussing how to accomodate your profilic writing in an encyclopedic context, you are messing up the next article. What has the "Types of bonding" to do with "Properties of Solution" ?
Later, you write "Petroleum is a mixture of molecules like the one illustrated in this slide." Is this a hint on where your texts come from ? Just copies from a class you taught ? Which you now cut into segments and paste into Wikipedia, whether fitting or not ?

message: The word "solution" has several common meanings in the English language, and not all of them are related to chemistry. This article's title would be less confusing if it were called Solution (chemistry), so that Solution could be a disambiguation page instead. Jarble (talk) 01:36, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

message: Currently it is known that 10% of the population living in Addiss Abeba own car and the rest 90% do not. Based upon past experience, 5% of owners will become non-owners and 10%of the non-owners will become owners. Set up the state vector and the transition matrix. What will be the proportion of owners and non-owners after two years? Determine the long run share of the car owners and non-owners if the transition matrix holds the same.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.55.83.51 (talk) 15:15, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

message: 1. I need to expand it in the characteristics section to distinguish it from other types of mixtures (which can be a separate section). 2. Try to change the types of section to prose form as much as possible, as it is convenient for readers to read. 3. For the first solid in a liquid solution, the explanation of steel needs to be clarified (if possible, I will add some references). 4. In terms of solubility, there are also two areas that need clarification.5. If necessary, I will add and provide some appropriate references in the article.
