Water is the solvent. Ammonia is the solute.
Ammonia would be the solute and water would be the solvent.
Ammonia is the solute and the solvent is the water.
The solute is the ammonia and the solvent is water.Rollin V. Bacton pogi! ;-)
Yes, every solution is a mixture of solvent (water) and solute (ammonia).
I disagree. Household ammonia is 5-10% ammonia. The solvent (the major component) is water. Ammonia is the minor component and is thus a solute.
Depending on what you are trying to do, it could be a solute, solvent or mutual solvent.Mutual solvents are fun. They are a way to create a solution of two chemicals that won't dissolve into each other on their own. Let's say you want to dissolve water into fuel - it's wintertime and you know having water freezing up in your fuel lines is not a good thing. You also know if water gets in your fuel tank the fuel will float on top of it. But if you put a chemical, like isopropyl alcohol which is the active ingredent in gas-line antifreeze, that will dissolve in both water and fuel in the tank you will get your desired result - the IPA will dissolve into the water, then carry the dissolved water into the fuel.
Ethanoic acid is a stronger acid in liquid ammonia because ammonia is a weaker base compared to water. Therefore, in liquid ammonia, ethanoic acid easily donates a proton to the ammonia molecules, forming the acetate ion. This proton transfer reaction is more favorable than in water due to the difference in the basicity of the solvent.
"Th confusuing thing is . . . ." the previous answer. In chem, H2O is a liquid.
The copper sulfate is the solute and water is the solvent.
The most common solvent is water; also used are ethanol, cyclohexane, liquid ammonia, etc.
No, ammonia is a base and can be used as a solvent.
No, ammonia is the solution of a gas (NH3) in water; when water is evaporated teh hydrated ammonia molecules escape as gas molecules. Solid ammonia can only be held at very low temperature:Pure ammonia liquid boils at −33.3 °C, and freezes at −77.7 °C to white crystals, but at that temperature the watery solvent is already deeply froozen to ice, so it isn't a solution anymore.
