Answer:
a. 6mL of ethanol and 35mL of water: the solute is ethanol (smallest volume) and the solvent is water (greater volume).
b. 300 g of water containing 8g of NaHCO3: the solute is NaHCO3 (smallest mass) and the solvent is water (greater mass).
c. 0.005L of CO2 and 2L of O2: the solute is CO2 (smallest volume) and the solvent is O2 (greater volume).
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given problem, it turns out possible for us to solve these questions by bearing to mind the fact that in a solution, we can find two substances, solute and solvent, whereas the former is in a smaller proportion in comparison to the latter; in such a way, we infer the following:
a. 6mL of ethanol and 35mL of water: the solute is ethanol (smallest volume) and the solvent is water (greater volume).
b. 300 g of water containing 8g of NaHCO3: the solute is NaHCO3 (smallest mass) and the solvent is water (greater mass).
c. 0.005L of CO2 and 2L of O2: the solute is CO2 (smallest volume) and the solvent is O2 (greater volume).
