Question

Some solutions are given in the table below. Identify the states of the solute and the solvent in each of them and complete the table.

Solution-Constituents	State of the solute	State of the solvent	State of the solution
Brass(Zinc + Copper)	Solid	Solid	_____
Salt solution(Salt+ water)	_____	_____	Liquid
Soda water(Carbon dioxide + water)	Gaseous	_____	_____
A mixture of alcohol and water	Liquid	_____	_____

Is there any relation between the state of the solution and that of the solvent?

Accepted Answer

Solution-Constituents State of the solute State of the solvent State of the solution

Brass(Zinc + Copper) Solid Solid Solid

Salt solution(Salt+ water) Solid Liquid Liquid

Soda water(Carbon dioxide + water) Gaseous Liquid Liquid

A mixture of alcohol and water Liquid Liquid Liquid

A solution is a homogeneous mixture consisting of a solute dissolved into a solvent. Normally, the constituent present in a smaller amount is considered as the solute and the constituent present in a larger amount is considered the solvent. In aqueous solutions, water is always the solvent irrespective of its amount.

Solutions can be formed with different types and forms of solutes and solvents. In most cases, the physical states of the solvent and the solution are the same. The solvent is the substance which typically determines the physical state of the solution. In an aqueous solution, the solute is dissolved in liquid water.
