The composition of rubbing alcohols may be variable.
Solute = isopropyl alcoholSolvent = water
Alcohol is a type of organic solvent. Regardless, when alcohol is the majority of a mixture, it is considered the solvent, and when something else is the majority of the mixture, it is the solute.
The alcohol is the solvent and the iodine is the solute.
Solvent
In wine the solute is ethyl alcohol and solvent is water.
Because when a solute and a solvent are combined, it creates a solution. When two solvents are combined, it just makes a stronger solvent.Further answerIt also depends on what you are trying to do. Alcohol is a solvent and so is water but if you wanted to have diluite alcohol you'd have to add water to alcohol, or vice versa.
Water is a single compound so it cannot be a solute and solvent at the same time.If you have a drop of alcohol in a bucket of water then water is the solvent, but if you have a drop of water in a bucket of alcohol then water is the solute.
Fiberglass has one solvent and one solute. Its solute is the glass itself that makes up about 99 percent of its composition. The solvent is the fiber, which makes up about one percent of its composition.
The liquid that does the dissolving is the solvent. That is alcohol in this example.The solid that dissolves is the solute. That is iodine in this example.
Alcohol is the solvent. The solute added to make it undrinkable is usually methanol (hence the term "methylated spirits").
weight %=weight of solute/weight of solute+weight of solvent. =5/5+50 =5/55=0.91%
Percent by Volume of Solute in Solvent = Volume Solute/ (Volume Solvent + Volume Solute) * 100% = 48/ 192 = 25%
Solute: alcohol, sugars, coloring Solvent: water (H2O ratio: 2 Hydrogen Atoms; 1 Oxygen Atoms)
