Question

Identify any solutes and solvents present in a mixture of 0.05 mol ethanol, 1 liter water, and 0.2 g hydrogen

peroxide.

Answer 1

Water is the solvent

Both the ethanol and the hydrogen peroxide are the solute

Step-by-step explanation:

Both the hydrogen peroxide and ethanol are sisobable in water.

There are 0.05 moles of ethanol.

1 litreof water contains 55.55 moles of water.

0.2 g of hydrogen peroxide contains 0.2/34 = 0.0059 moles of hydrogen peroxide (the 34 is the molar mass of hydrogen peroxide).

Since there are more moles of water, water becomes the solvent and the other two liquids dissolve in it.
