Water is a polar liquid
Solubility depends on "like dissolves like"
That means that water can only dissolve polar substances.
consider nail varnish: this won't dissolve in water because it is not polar.
However, it will dissolve in acetone, which is a non-polar solvent.
A solute is something that dissolves into a solvent. The solvent is the substance present in the greatest amount (there is always more of it) and the solute is always present in a smaller amount. Together they form a solution.
no solutions always do not contain liquid solute. eg: in a solution of salt and water water is the solvent and salt is the solvent.... also in lemonade sugar salt or anything r not liquid
Salt and sugar aer the solute(s), and water is the solvent.
the solution itself, yes. it must contain water to be called an aqueous solution. the term aqueous designates water as the solvent/diluent.
salt is the solute, and the water's the solvent.
In an aqueous solution the solvent is water.
The statement is true. Solvent is what you dissolve a solute in. In chemistry, your solvent is usually going to be water. So, if you have a concentrated solution and you pour some more water into it, you're diluting the solution.
A solvent is a substance that dissolves the solute in a solution. For example, in salt water, water is the solvent and the salt is the solute. Water dissolves the salt.
The solvent is water, the solute is salt; solvent and solute form a solution.
solution ------- Sugar dissolved in water: sugar is the solute, water is the solvent; and the solute plus the solvent - is a solution !
Sugar water is a solution in which sugar is the solute and water is the solvent. The water dissolves the sugar.
'An Aqueous' solution. NB The word 'aqueous' comes from Latin ; 'aqua' meaning 'water'.
The water in a solution is called the solvent
In a salt water solution, the salt is dissolved in the water, therefore salt is the solute and water is the solvent.
A solvent is a substance that dissolves the solute in a solution. For example, in salt water, water is the solvent and the salt is the solute. Water dissolves the salt.
Water in a solution is the solvent in which other substances are dissolved. It is the medium that disperses and surrounds the solute particles, allowing them to be evenly distributed throughout the solution.
Sodium chloride is a solute when is dissolved in water (the solvent).
