The solvent is water, the solute is salt; solvent and solute form a solution.
The salt is the solute and the water is the solvent. Water is the solvent because it is what dissolves the solid salt into the solution. The water molecules pull apart the crystal structure of salt and surround the salt ions.
A solvent is a substance that dissolves the solute in a solution. For example, in salt water, water is the solvent and the salt is the solute. Water dissolves the salt.
In a salt water solution, the salt is dissolved in the water, therefore salt is the solute and water is the solvent.
Solute, because it is the minor component in the solution and it is what dissolves in the solvent. For example: Salt Water - The salt is the solute that dissoles in the solvent, which is water.
Salt and sugar aer the solute(s), and water is the solvent.
No, sodium chloride is the solute and water is the solvent in salt water
Solvent is the largest amount in the solution. Example: water and salt. the water is the solvent because it overcomes the salt.
Salt is the solute. Water is the solvent in a salt solution.
Salt is not called the universal solvent. Water is called the universal solvent.
When salt dissolves in water, the salt is the solute, and the solvent is the water. Whenever you have a solution, the substance that is being dissolved is the solute, the substance that it is being dissolved in is the solvent.
The solvent is the water (chemical formula H2O). The solute is the salt (table salt, NaCl or another substance).
