Certain copper salts and compounds are soluble in water. The solute is the copper compound that dissolves in the liquid. The solvent of copper is the liquid that the compound dissolves in.

The best and most common solvent is water. Other polar solvents such as liquid ammonia should work, but that's hardly convenient.

Name the solute and the solvent in a copper sulfate solution?

water


What is a mixture of a solute and a solvent?

A mixture of a solute and a slovent will create a solution. If we combine salt and water, the salt (the solute) will dissolve in the water (the solvent) to form that solution. Note that a mixture is different from a solution in that in a mixture, the two substance remain distinct, like with sand and water.


When water is added to a blue solution of copper sulfate the solution changes to a lighter shade of blue Is this an example of a chemical reaction?

If the water being added is pure, and the solvent in the copper sulfate solution was water, then no, this should not result in a chemical reaction. The visual change is due to dilution of the solute


What would happen to the crystallization temperature if you boil the solution?

Temperature of a solution is a condition that controls the solubility of solute in a solvent. Take copper sulfate for example. At 100° Celsius (C) 203.3 grams (g) can be dissolved in 100ml of water; at 0° C, only 31.6g can be dissolved in water. If you continue to boil the solvent (water) away, the copper sulfate will come out of solution because the amount of water is lessened creating a supersaturated state that forces the solute out of the solution (in other words, the lesser amount of liquid water can't hold that much copper sulfate in solution.) Removing the heat source and allowing the solution to cool has the same effect. As it cools,the copper sulfate will come out of solution. So, basically, concentration of the solute at a given temperature is the controlling factor. Boiling off the solvent increases the concentration; cooling the solvent decreases the concentration the solvent can hold. Both ways create a state of supersaturation leading to crystallization at all the temperatures in the given range.

What is the composition of solution?

Solution: a solute (or more) in a solvent. Solute: the dissolved substance in a solvent. The solute must be soluble in the solvent.


What is the relationship between An solvent and a solute?

1. A solvent and a solute are both parts of a solution.2. The solvent is mostly in majority and, it dissolves a solute in itself to make a solution.
