In chemistry the terms solute and solvent can often be interchanged with no change in the meaning of the sentence. For example when one liquid eg alcohol, ethanol, dissolves in another liquid eg water, is the water dissolving the alcohol or the alcohol dissolving the water? Solution depends on the two substances interacting with each other, like dissolves like. Conventionally, we say that the solid is the solute and the liquid is the solvent but there are even exceptions to that eg when, over millions of years, small amounts of water gets dissolved into rock we get opals.

So air is a solution or a mixture? Does the nitrogen dissolve the oxygen? Probably not, as there is no interaction between the particles so it is not a solution. Smog - does the water vapour, a gas, in the air dissolve small amounts of gaseous particulate matter to create smog? Probably yes, that could be considered a solution.

Can a solute be a gas?
no. it could olny be a liqid or gas
What is the solute and solvent in liquid and gas solution?
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.
What is a solution A. a solid dissolved in a gas B. a solute and a solvent C. a liquid dissolved in a gas D. an amalgam of solids, liquids, and gases?
B. A solute and a solvent
What is the solute-solvent combinations?
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)
What is the solute in natural gas?
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.
Can a solute be a gas?
no. it could olny be a liqid or gas
What type of gas solution has a gas as the solute?
For example a carbonated water containing carbon dioxide as a solute.
What is the solute for nitrous oxide?
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.
What is the solute and solvent in liquid and gas solution?
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.
Is solute always in a solid form?
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.
Is a solute is always a solid?
Give examples of solute relating to solid liquid and gas
What are the solute and solvent both gases?
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.
Is nitrogen gas a solvent or solute in a mixture?
Dissolved nitrogen in water is a solute; when nitrogen contain traces of another gas can be considered as a solvent.
What are the components of a solution and give its defnitions?
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.
What is the solute and solvent in body spray?
Solute- whatever chemicals are in the air freshener Solvent- the air
What is the solute of hydrogen gas in palladium?
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.
What is a solution A. a solid dissolved in a gas B. a solute and a solvent C. a liquid dissolved in a gas D. an amalgam of solids, liquids, and gases?
B. A solute and a solvent
