The solute is a liquid, the solvent is a solid, and the solution will vary.
The solution and the solute are liquid; the solvent is a solid.
The solvent is a liquid, the solute is a solid, and the solution will vary.

Answer 1

The solution and the solute are liquid; the solvent is a solid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is the solution and the solvent are liquid; the solute is a solid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solute is defined as the substance which is present in smaller proportion in a solution.

Solvent is defined as the substance which is present in larger proportion in a solution.

Solution is the combination of solute and solvent.

For a given solid-liquid solution, the solution has a large proportion of liquid in it. Thus, liquid is considered as solvent and the solution.

Solid particles are present in smaller proportion in a solution and is considered as solute.

Thus, the correct answer is the solution and the solvent are liquid; the solute is a solid.
