Most chemical reactions, both in nature and in the laboratory, take place in a solution.

For ionic chemicals, it is the polarity of the solvent (usually water) which allows the separation of the ions so that the reaction can take place.

For non-polar chemicals, the solvent (often a non-polar one) allows for the chemicals to come into contact with one another and to regulate the speed at which the reaction takes place.

All biological chemistry depends upon reactions which take place in water (as a solvent). This is especially true of reactions involving enzymes.

Solutions are a mixture of any chemical, and dissolved usually in water. It can be any solute, dissolved in any solvent. Very rarely do you work with any chemical in its pure form. Almost always it is mixed in a solution (as stated, often times water). Solutions are important simply because they are used often. Solutions are also used to vary the volume of a mixture, while maintaining the same molarity (or "intensity" of a compound).
