To solve the problem, we need to identify the
solvent and
solute for each solution. Let's break it down step by step:
Definitions:
-
Solvent: The component of a solution that is present in the largest amount and dissolves other substances.
-
Solute: The component of a solution that is dissolved in the solvent.
Solution 1: Coffee Solution
#### Description:
- The coffee solution is made up of
98.75% water and the rest (1.25%) consists of
other chemicals.
#### Identification:
-
Solvent: Water (since it is the major component at 98.75%).
-
Solute: Other chemicals (the minor components making up 1.25%).
Solution 2: Cola
#### Description:
- Cola is made up of
about 11% sugar and
roughly 88% water.
#### Identification:
-
Solvent: Water (since it is the major component at 88%).
-
Solute: Sugar (the minor component making up 11%).
Solution 3: Vinegar
#### Description:
- Vinegar is made up of
3.5% acetic acid and
96.5% water.
#### Identification:
-
Solvent: Water (since it is the major component at 96.5%).
-
Solute: Acetic acid (the minor component making up 3.5%).
Completed Table:
| In the solution below, determine | Solvent | Solute |
|----------------------------------|-----------|----------------|
| 1. Coffee solution made up of | Water | Other chemicals |
| 98.75% water and the rest | | |
| consists 1.25% of other | | |
| chemicals | | |
| 2. Cola is a solution made up of | Water | Sugar |
| about 11% sugar and roughly | | |
| 88% water | | |
| 3. Vinegar is a solution made up | Water | Acetic acid |
| of 3.5% acetic acid and 96.5% | | |
| water. | | |
