Chloroform and Chlorophenol
Solvent
You dissolve a solute in a solvent
A substance that can dissolve in particular solvent is called a solute. The resulting mixture is called a solution. A general rule is that "like dissolves like." If a solute is polar, it will need a polar solvent to fully dissolve it.
question itself is wrong, chloroform is solute and ccl4 is solvent, solute should dissolve in solvent and solvent cannot dissolve in solute
Absolutely not! Using gasoline as a solvent, wax dissolves in it but glass will not dissolve at all. Using water as a solvent, salt dissolves in it but pepper will not dissolve at all. Using hydrofluoric acid as a solvent, glass dissolves in it but wax will not dissolve at all.
A solvent cannot dissolve. You can dissolve a solute in a solvent, e.g. you can dissolve sugar in water - sugar is the solute, and water is the solvent. You cannot dissolve water though.
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
It depends on the polarity of the solute and the solvent. If the solute is polar, then it will only dissolve in a polar solvent If the solute in nonpolar, then it will only dissolve in a nonpolar solvent
A liquid that can dissolve things is a solvent. The thing being dissolved is a solute.
Solvent
No; the solute is dissolved in the solvent.
The solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves. The solvent does not itself dissolve because it is (usually) already a liquid. There are special cases. For example, it is possible for a gas to dissolve into a solid, in which case the solvent is a solid. Even then it is still true that the solvent does not itself dissolve. Only the solute dissolves.
It is a solvent liquid. For example, water is a solvent as it can dissolve sugar crystals (and many other things).
Pasta
It a solvent which can dissolve most of the substances.., ex.water
A solvent is a chemical which has the capacity to dissolve a solute. Water is the most commonly used solvent, and it dissolves a lot of things, such as sugar and salt. To dissolve, is for a solid material to become part of a liquid solvent and to thereby lose its solidity, and to mix in.
It is called a solvent, the substance being dissolved is a solute.
