To solve the problem, we need to identify the
solute and the
solvent in each given solution. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how to determine them:
Key Points:
1.
Solute: The substance that is dissolved in the solvent.
2.
Solvent: The substance that dissolves the solute. It is usually present in a greater amount than the solute.
Solution Analysis:
Let's analyze each case step by step:
---
####
1. Cigarette Smoke
-
Solution: Cigarette Smoke spread through Air
-
Solute: Cigarette Smoke (the particles or gases from the smoke)
-
Solvent: Air (the medium in which the smoke is dispersed)
---
####
2. Copper
-
Solution: Gold Ring
-
Solute: Copper (added to gold to form an alloy)
-
Solvent: Gold (the primary component of the ring)
---
####
3. Caffeine
-
Solution: Cup of Coffee
-
Solute: Caffeine (dissolved in water)
-
Solvent: Water (the liquid in the coffee)
---
####
4. Silver
-
Solution: Sterling Silver
-
Solute: Silver (the primary component)
-
Solvent: Copper (added to silver to form an alloy)
---
####
5. Water
-
Solution: Water in Fish Tank
-
Solute: Oxygen (dissolved in water for fish to breathe)
-
Solvent: Water (the liquid in the tank)
---
####
6. Carbon Dioxide
-
Solution: Sealed Can of Pop
-
Solute: Carbon Dioxide (dissolved in the liquid)
-
Solvent: Sugar Water (the liquid in the can)
---
####
7. Oxygen
-
Solution: Air
-
Solute: Oxygen (one of the components of air)
-
Solvent: Nitrogen (the most abundant gas in air)
---
Final Answer:
Here is the completed worksheet with the solute and solvent labeled:
| SOLUTION | SOLUTE | SOLVENT |
|------------------------------|--------------|--------------|
| 1. Cigarette Smoke | Cigarette Smoke | Air |
| 2. Copper | Copper | Gold |
| 3. Caffeine | Caffeine | Water |
| 4. Silver | Silver | Copper |
| 5. Water | Oxygen | Water |
| 6. Carbon Dioxide | Carbon Dioxide | Sugar Water |
| 7. Oxygen | Oxygen | Nitrogen |
