What is a solute and a solvent?

A solute is the solid that is dissolved in a liquid. The solvent is the liquid in which something is dissolved in. For example, with salt water, the Na and Cl are the two solutes, and the H2O is the solvent. Also They Both Make A Solution. For example, to make a solution out of saltwater, you would take salt, which would be your solute, and water, which would be your solvent. To be more precise, a solvent is what does the dissolving and the solute is what is being dissolved. the answer above is not incorrect per se, just not all inclusive. an example not described by the previous answer is that of carbon dioxide dissolving in water. therefore, the solute does not have to be a solid. further the solvent doesnt have to be liquid. the solvent can be a liquid or a gas and the solute can be a solid, liquid, or gas.


What does a solid and liquid make?

it depends on the solubility of the solid in that specific liquid. If the solid is highly soluble, then it should dissolve completely forming a solution, possibly coloured. If it is not, then it will just sit in the liquid.


Why is there one phase in every solution?

There is at least one phase in every solution because the solute has been completely dissolved into solution. If there is still remaining solute, then the solution has two phases, one in which the solute is completely dissolved and the other phase having undissolved solute.


Is water and pebbles a solution?

No, pebbles in water does not make a solution. The pebbles are solid, and remain just as they are when put into the water. A solution forms when the solute (the solid component of a solution) has been uniformly distributed within the solvent (the liquid component). This isn't happening in the situation described.


Can a liquid solution contain gas?

Yes, of course. Think about it: just about all bodies of liquid water on the planet -- technically "liquid solutions" -- are a home to many species of fish that breathe the oxygen -- a gas -- that is dissolved in the water.

Can a solution be a solid a gas and a liquid or is it just liquids and gases or just liquids only?

A solution can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas. Examples include alloys (solid solutions), soda (liquid solution), and air (gas solution). Solutions are defined as homogenous mixtures of two or more substances.

When a drop of water is added to a bowl of salt the resulting product is called a solution or just a solid?

solution, a solid is disolved into a liquid


What is a new mixture called?

it is called a solution no matter what it just has to be a liquid and a solid.


Is a solution just a solution?

A solution typically refers to a mixture where one substance is dissolved or dispersed in another substance. It can be solid, liquid or gas. In a broader sense, a solution can also refer to resolving a problem or addressing an issue.


Gas dissolved in a liquid?

There is no such state of matter, gas in liquid is just a solution. (Eg. Ammonia-water, hydrochloric acid)


Why is there one phase in every solution?

There is at least one phase in every solution because the solute has been completely dissolved into solution. If there is still remaining solute, then the solution has two phases, one in which the solute is completely dissolved and the other phase having undissolved solute.


Can cocaine turn to a liquid?

YeS, it can also turn to a gas... As can all matter in the universe. Everything has a state. You would just need to know it's melting point and you could turn it to liquid cocain.


Is 3NaOH a liquid solid gas or aquous solution?

NaOH is normally a crystalline solid at room tempoerature. However, in the lab. it is dissolved in water so it becomes aqueous (aq) The prefix '3' indicates the molar ratio to balance a reacting equation. e.g. 3NaOH)aq) + H3PO4(aq) = Na3PO4(aq) + 3H2O(l) Note the molar ratios are 3:1::1:3


What is the difference in appearance between a solution and suspension?

A solution is produced by dissolving a solid in a liquid and when completely dissolved there are no particles to be seen; just a transparent liquid (not if you put milk in your tea). A suspension is created when the tiny particles of a substance which is not dissolvable are stirred into a liquid. You can still tell that the particles are still there, and the liquid is not transparent. Think about the particles of cocoa powder stirred into hot water (without milk). You can find some of the powder left when you have drunk up.
