A solute and solvent make up a solution. The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent to form the solution. The solvent is the substance in which the solute is dissolved.
Ethanol is the solvent and sucrose is the solute.
In household ammonia, ammonia (NH3) is the solute and water (H2O) is the solvent.
No, sodium chloride is a solute in saltwater, not a solvent. In saltwater, water is the solvent that dissolves the sodium chloride solute.
If more solvent is added to a solution, the concentration of the solute decreases, resulting in a more dilute solution. This can impact the properties of the solution, such as its density and viscosity. It may also affect the solubility of the solute in the solvent.
The concentration of a solute per 100g of solvent is called a percentage by weight. It is commonly used to express the concentration of a solute in a solution.
