Gasoline does not have a solvent, as it is commonly used, and it does not need a solvent. This is because gasoline is not a solid that needs dissolving, it is a liquid hydrocarbon already and is a solvent more than it can ever be a solvent.

Gasoline is an organic compound and it is the solvent of organic solutes. Petroleum jelly will dissolve in gasoline because both petroleum jelly and gasoline are hydrocarbons.

What is the solute and solvent in perfumes?

The solute is generally an essential oil and the solvent is usually a low molecular weight alcohol like ethanol or methanol or isopropanol, possibly mixed with water.


What are the solute and solvent of a alcohol?

The solvent is usually the larger part of the solution which dissolves the solute. The solute is the smaller part which gets dissolved. So as an example, seawater is a solution. The solvent is water and the solute is salt and traces of other minerals. Vinegar is also a solution. Again, water is the solvent and glacial acetic acid is the solute. To do acid values in resin chemistry, methanolic KOH solution is usually the titrant. In this example, methanol is the solvent and KOH is the solute.

Percent by Volume of Solute in Solvent = Volume Solute/ (Volume Solvent + Volume Solute) * 100% = 48/ 192 = 25%


When is water a solute?

We normally think of a solute as a solid that is added to a solvent (e.g., adding table salt to water), but the solute could just as easily exist in another phase. For example, if we add a small amount of ethanol to water, then the ethanol is the solute and the water is the solvent. If we add a smaller amount of water to a larger amount of ethanol, then the water could be the solute!


Can water be a solute?

Water can be a solute under some circumstances. For example, if 1cm3 of water is added to 100cm3 of ethanol, an ethanolic solution is formed in which ethanol is the solvent and water is the solute!!!note: a solute is that which is less in quantity and solvent is which is more in quantity
