The opposite of "in solution" is "unsolved" or "undissolved". When a substance is in solution, it means that it has been completely dissolved in the solvent and is evenly distributed throughout the solution. However, if a substance is unsolved or undissolved, it means that it has not been dissolved in the solvent and may either float on the surface or settle at the bottom. In some cases, the substance may even form a separate layer or precipitate. While being in a solution is preferred for certain applications, such as in pharmaceuticals or chemistry, sometimes the undissolved state of a substance is vital, such as in sedimentation or filtration.

Famous quotes with In solution

• X-Ray crystallography is nowadays an accurate and rapid method of determining conformation in the crystal lattice, which conformation usually corresponds to the preferred conformation in solution.

  Derek Harold Richard Barton
• I speak of God, I mean something other than an Identity wherein all differences vanish, or a Unity which includes but does not transcend the differences which it somehow holds in solution. I mean a God whom men can love, a God to whom men can pray, who takes sides, who has purposes and preferences, whose attributes, howsoever conceived, leave unimpaired the possibility of a personal relation between Himself and those whom He has created.

  Arthur Balfour
• Solitude is greater than I anticipated. My sense of values is changing, and many things which before were in solution in my mind now seem to be crystallizing. I am better able to tell what in the world is wheat for me and what is chaff. In fact, my definition of success itself is changing.

  Richard E. Byrd
• Tequila, scorpion honey, harsh dew of the doglands, essence of Aztec, crema de cacti; tequila, oily and thermal like the sun in solution; tequila, liquid geometry of passion; Tequila, the buzzard God who copulates in midair with the ascending souls of dying virgins; tequila, firebug in the house of good taste; O tequila, savage water of sorcery, what confusion and mischief your sly, rebellious drops do generate!”

  Tom Robbins
