Question

In a glass of water with sugar dissolved in it, the sugar is the solvent. True False

Answer 1

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

Binary Solution is a homogeneous mixture of two components called as solute and solvent.

Solute is the component which is present in smaller proportion and is solid for solid in liquid solution and solvent is the component which is present in larger proportion and is liquid for solid in liquid solution.

Thus in a glass of water with sugar dissolved in it, sugar is the solute as it is present in lesser amount.

And water is the solvent as it is present in more amount.

Thus the given statement, In a glass of water with sugar dissolved in it, the sugar is the solvent is False.

Answer 2

The given statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

A solution is made up two components that is solute and solvent.

Solution = Solute + Solvent

Solute is defined as a component present in a solution in lessor amount.

Solvent is defined as a component present in a solution in greater amount.

In the given sugar solution, glass of water with sugar is dissolved which clearly depicts that sugar is solute and water is solvent.
