Can solute can be a solid a liquid or a gas?

Answer 1

Yes, a solute can be any of those phases. Here's an example:

salt (NaCl) is a solid that dissolves in water;

ethanol is a liquid that dissolves in water;

carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas that dissolves in water.

therefore any substance (water in this case )that can let anything disolve in it is a solute

Answer 2

Yes, they can be liquids, but not only liquids, they can also be gases.

Answer 3

solvent is the liquid form while the solute is the solid form. -zhane solvent is the liquid form while the solute is the solid form. -zhane

Answer 4

Yes it can be a gas, liquid and gas e.g. salt(solid),ethanol (liquid) and carbon dioxide (gas).

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

No, gases can dissolve in liquids as well. For instance, carbon dioxide is dissolved in soda. Oxygen dissolves in water. (Fish get their O2 by passing water over their gills.)

Answer 6

A liquid is generally the solvent but sometimes a liquid may be the solute.
