Dissolved nitrogen in water is a solute; when nitrogen contain traces of another gas can be considered as a solvent.


What is the solvent and solute in liquid nitrogen?

There is neither a solvent nor solute in liquid nitrogen as it is not a solution. Liquid nitrogen is pure elementalnitrogen in liquid form.


The nitrogen in air is the solute?

No, since nitrogen makes up the majority of the atmosphere it is the solvent.


What is the solute and solvent of nitrogen?

The question doesn't make any sense. All gases are miscible, so any other gas could act as either a solute or solvent of gaseous nitrogen.


What is the solute in air?

The solute and solvent are not absolute. But solvent is a large concentration and the solute is the gaps in between. When solvent is nitrogen and solutes are carbon dioxide it leaves traces of other gasses.


What is the solvent in soda water?

The solvent is water, the solute is carbon dioxide (or nitrogen).


What would be the solute 80 percent Nitrogen 20 percent Oxygen?

Definitely the 20% oxygen because there is less of it and the solute is always the lesser amount.

What is the solute and what is th solvent in the solution called air?

Solvent can be oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and argon and co2 and other noble gases. Solute can be dust particles, pollen, sulfur dioxide, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide. Usually solvent is abundant than solute in any solution.


The air you breathe is made of 21 percent oxygen and 78 percent nitrogen The oxygen in air is the?

It's the oxygen. Since oxygen doesn't dissolve into nitrogen - air is a mixture, not a solution - you can't call it the solute and the nitrogen the solvent, which may have been the answer you thought you were going to get.


Oxygen in nitrogen is an example of which solute-solvent combination?

soda is a mixture of carbon dioxide and water(liquid). so its a solvent that is gas and a liquid that is gaseous
