Water is the most commonly cited example of a solvent. Other common examples are hexane, ethanol, and ether.

A solvent dissolves a solute, a good example would be sugar (the solute) and water (the solvent) mixing together. A example of a solvent would be water, an example of a solute would be salt or sugar.

Examples: water, ethanol, methanol, iso-propanol, butanol, kerosene and many others.
Water and ethanol are two examples of a solvent.

Example: polar solutes are dissolved in polar solvents, nonpolar solutes are dissolved in nonpolar solvents; this is a general rule but not absolute.


What do solvents do to you?

Solvents are chemical substances that can dissolve, suspend or extract other materials usually without chemically changing either the solvents or the other materials. Solvents can be organic, meaning the solvent contains carbon as part of its makeup, or inorganic, meaning the solvent does not contain carbon. For example, "rubbing" alcohol is an organic solvent and water is an inorganic solvent. Hydrocarbon and oxygenated solvents are examples of types of organic solvents that can effectively dissolve many materials.

Are solvents all explosive?

No, not all solvents are explosive. Solvents can vary in their chemical properties and flammability. While some solvents may be flammable or have explosive properties, many solvents are not inherently explosive. It is important to handle all solvents with care and follow appropriate safety procedures.

What are immisible solvents?

Immiscible solvents are solvents that do not mix together to form a homogeneous solution. Instead, they form separate layers when mixed. This occurs due to differences in polarity or chemical characteristics between the solvents.


How many solvents can a solution have?

A solution can have one or more solvents. In a binary solution, there are two solvents, and in a ternary solution, there are three solvents, and so on. Each solvent plays a role in dissolving the solute and determining the properties of the solution.


What are bad about solvents?
