What is the solvent in 70 percent alcohol?

70% alcohol signifies the amount the alcohol present in 100 ml of the solution. Considering the solvent to be water, 70% alcohol contains 70ml alcohol and 30ml water. Thus, the total comes out to 70 + 30 = 100ml. That's what the "%" signifies - (out of 100!)


Is ammonia solute or solvent?

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.

no it is a solution because a solution is a mixture of matter and is clear and cant see the diffrent types of matter in the mixture. a solvent is the larger part of the solution. for example say i mixed water and apple juice 70% water 30% apple juice the water would be the solvent. but if you melted metel and copper together (well mixed) more copper than metal then in that case copper would be the solvent

What is salt in water because it dissolves in water?

Salt is the solute. Water is the solvent. The mixture is a solution. Or, you can say that salt is dissociated in water because the sodium ions and the chlorine ions have moved apart as the salt dissolves. Or, you can say it is aqueous. Solutes dissolved in water are described as aqueous.
