Answer 1

In a Jell-O mold with strawberries and whipped cream, the strawberries are the solute and the whipped cream is the solvent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The strawberries in the Jell-O mold are considered the solute, while the whipped cream on top is the solvent.

A solute is the substance being dissolved in a solution, while the solvent is the dissolving medium. In this case, the Jell-O is the solvent that dissolves the strawberries and the whipped cream is added on top.
