Question

Choose the correct solvent and solute pair.

soda = carbon dioxide and high fructose corn syrup as the solvents and water as the solute
14 karat gold = silver as the solvent and gold as the solute
chocolate milk = milk as the solvent and chocolate as the solute
air = oxygen as the solvent and nitrogen as the solute

Answer 1

chocolate milk = milk as the solvent and chocolate as the solute

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct solvent - solute pair is chocolate milk as the solvent and chocolate as the solute.

Both a solute and solvent pair forms a solution and they are both regarded as mixtures.

• The solute is a particle that is uniformly distributed in a solvent.
• The solute is the substance dissolved to make the solution.
• The solvent is the dispersing substance that allows the solute to go into a solution.

So, the chocolate milk is the solvent and the chocolate the solute.
