**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of a Solution**: A solution is a homogeneous mixture where one substance (the solute) is completely dissolved in another substance (the solvent). 2. **Properties of Water**: Water is known as a universal solvent because it can dissolve many substances. When a solute, such as salt, is added to water, it interacts with the water molecules. 3. **Dissolution Process**: When salt is added to water, the ionic bonds in the salt break due to the interaction with water molecules. The positive part of water molecules (hydrogen) attracts the negative ions (chloride), and the negative part of water molecules (oxygen) attracts the positive ions (sodium). This process allows the salt to dissolve completely. ...
