no. it could olny be a liqid or gas
In a liquid solution, the solute is the substance that is dissolved, and the solvent is the substance that does the dissolving. In a gas solution, the solute is the gas that is being dissolved, and the solvent is the gas that does the dissolving.
B. A solute and a solvent
Some solute-solvent combinations are: example (solute state-solvent state) oxygen in nitrogen (gas-gas) carbon dioxide in water (gas-liquid) water vapor in air (liquid-gas) alcohol in water (liquid-liquid) mercury in silver and tin, dental amalgam (liquid-solid) sugar in water (solid-liquid) copper in nickel (MonelTM alloy) (solid-solid)
The solute in natural gas is primarily methane, which is a colorless, odorless gas composed of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. Additionally, natural gas can contain small amounts of other hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, and butane as solutes.
i had this for homework here's what i got::: nail polish (solute) acetone (solvent) glue (solute) acetone (solvent) eggshells (solute) vinegar (solvent) [i bet u didn't know that one!!} iodine (solute) hexane (solvent) chromium (solute) hydrochloric acid (solvent
For example a carbonated water containing carbon dioxide as a solute.
The solute for nitrous oxide is the gas itself (N2O). In a solution of nitrous oxide in a liquid solvent, the nitrous oxide gas is the solute that is being dissolved in the liquid.
In a liquid solution, the solute is the substance that is dissolved, and the solvent is the substance that does the dissolving. In a gas solution, the solute is the gas that is being dissolved, and the solvent is the gas that does the dissolving.
A solute can be any phase, solid, liquid, or gas. The term solute means something that is dissolved in a solvent. There are a wide range of substances, in various phases, which are capable of being dissolved in various solvents.
Give examples of solute relating to solid liquid and gas
When both the solute and solvent are gases, the solute is the gas that is being dissolved, and the solvent is the gas in which the solute is dissolved. An example is the dissolution of carbon dioxide (solute) in water vapor (solvent) to form carbonated water.
Dissolved nitrogen in water is a solute; when nitrogen contain traces of another gas can be considered as a solvent.
A solution has two components: a solvent and a solute. If the solvent is a gas then the solute must be a gas. If the solvent is liquid or solid then the solute can be gas, liquid or solid.A solution is a homogeneous mixture of the solvent and solute such that the bits of the solute cannot be seen by the naked eye. It is a stable mixture whose components cannot be separated by mechanical means.
Solute- whatever chemicals are in the air freshener Solvent- the air
The solute in this case would be the hydrogen gas, as it is being dissolved or absorbed into the palladium. Palladium has the ability to absorb large amounts of hydrogen gas through a process known as hydrogen absorption.
