Question

A student mixes a spoonful of sugar into a glass of water and stirs until the sugar dissolves completely.

Match each substance to its role in the dissolving process.

Substance: Dissolving Process:
sugar solvent -->
water solution -->
sugar-water mixture solute -->

Answer 1

Sugar - solute

Water-solvent

Sugar-water mixture-solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Solute is what is being dissolved

Solvent is what is dissolving it

Solution is what it makes

Answer 2

Answer is:

Sugar is solute.

Water is solvent.

Sugar-water mixture is solution.

Solution (in this example sugar is dissolved in water) is homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances.

In aqueous solution, solvent is water and solute (in this example sugar) is a substance dissolved in water.

Solvent is always the same state of matter as the solution. In this example, sugar-water solution is liquid, so water is a solvent.

Solvation is the interaction of solvent (water) with molecules or ions in a solute.
