It is a corrosive.
The solvent in sea water is water itself. Water acts as the solvent that dissolves various salts and minerals in the ocean, creating the salty composition of sea water.
Water is the solvent of sea water. It dissolves various substances such as salts, minerals, and organic matter present in the ocean, creating a concentrated solution.
Sea water is a complex solution.
Sea water is a solution that consists of solvent (water) and solutes (such as salt, minerals, and other substances dissolved in it).
It is a corrosive.
Salt / water.
Salt / water.
The solvent of sea water is obviously water and the solute is salt...
Water is a very powerful SOLVENT. It will dissolve SALT ( sodium chloride) , the SOLUTE. When the solute is dissolved in the solvent it is called a SOLUTION. Sea water is a solution of salts and water. The principal salt is sodium chloride, however, there are plenty of other salts dissolved in sea-water, viz. sodium bromide, potassium chloride, potassium iodide, calcium carbonate. Also carbon dioxide dissolves in sea-water. These are just a few of the solutes in the solution named sea-water.
The pure water is the solvent and the minerals, salts that dissolved in the water (to make salt water) are called the solute. I assumed you were talking about sea/salt water? If you are talking about common salt dissolved in water the the salt is the solute and the water is the solvent.
The solvent is the pure water.
Salt and sugar aer the solute(s), and water is the solvent.
