Which statement accurately differentiates between a solute and a solvent?
Which statement accurately differentiates between a solute and a solvent?
- A solute is typically present in a larger proportion than a solvent.
- Solvents never exist in a gaseous state.
- A solute can only exist in a liquid state, while a solvent can be solid.
- A solvent dissolves a solute to form a solution. (correct)

In a solution made of 30g of substance A and 70g of substance B, which is most likely the solvent?
In a solution made of 30g of substance A and 70g of substance B, which is most likely the solvent?
- Substance A, because it dissolves.
- Both A and B are solvents.
- Neither A nor B can be determined as the solvent without knowing their chemical properties.
- Substance B, because it is the larger component. (correct)
