What else can I help you with?
Are solvent and solute same thing?
Solute is the substance dissolved in a solvent.
What melts the solvent or solute?
Dissolving is not the same thing as melting. When you dissolve salt in water, for example, neither the salt nor the water melts. In the example of salt in water, salt is the solute and water is the solvent. The salt (which is the solute) is what dissolves (but does not melt).
What is solute and solvent of water?
Water is a single compound so it cannot be a solute and solvent at the same time.If you have a drop of alcohol in a bucket of water then water is the solvent, but if you have a drop of water in a bucket of alcohol then water is the solute.
When comparing two solutions with the same volume you may say that one is dilute and the other is concentrated what does this mean?
concentrated means it has more solute in it dilute solution has lesser
What is the antonym of solute in science?
Usually, the substance present in the greatest amount is considered the solvent. Solvents can be gases, liquids, or solids. One or more components present in the solution other than the solvent are called solutes. The solution has the same physical state as the solvent.
How does the boiling point of a solvent change when a solute is dissolved in it how does the freezing point change?
The boiling point rises and the freezing point lowers.The reason being, when a solute dissolves in a solvent, the solute molecules wedge themselves between the solvent molecules. In order for the solvent to freeze, its molecules have to get close enough together to form a solid. However, the solute molecules are in the way. As a result, it requires much colder temperatures for the solvent molecules to form a solid, despite the hindrance of the solute's molecules. The same sort of thing happens when trying to boil the solvent, only instead of holding the solvent molecules apart, the solute molecules end up holding them together, preventing them from boiling. Therefore, a more energy is needed to break the bond between solvent and solute, which allows the solvent to boil.
In a solution do the solute and solvent exist at the same temperature?
Yes, in a solution the solute and solvent usually exist at the same temperature because they are mixed together thoroughly, leading to uniform distribution of heat throughout the entire solution. This results in the solute and solvent achieving thermal equilibrium and therefore being at the same temperature.
How does an increase in surface area help a solute dissolve more quickly?
Not necessarily just changing the surface area causes the rate to change. Changing the ratio of surface area volume changes the rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent. If the surface area is larger and the volume of a solute is smaller or the same, then the rate at which the solute dissolves in a solvent increases. If the surface area is smaller and the volume of the solute is larger or the same, then the rate at which the solute dissolves in a solvent decreases.
Is there an easy way to differentiate between a solvent and a solute?
Solvent is in larger quantity and its state is the same as that of solution.
Is solvent the same as solution?
No. The "solvent" is the liquid that does makes the solid dissolve.For example, in a solution of salt water, the solvent is "water", and the solute is salt.
When you make a concentrated product do you reduce the amount of solute or solvent?
When making a concentrated product, you typically increase the amount of solute while keeping the amount of solvent the same or reducing it. This increases the concentration of the solute in the solution.
Do all solute behave in the same way?
No. because hot solvent disoolves solute faster than cold one.
