Question

A solution is made by mixing 50.0 mL of liquid A with 75.0 mL of liquid B. Which is the solute, and which is the solvent? Is it valid to assume that the volume of the resulting solution will be 125 mL? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

If two liquid solutions are mixed together, the solute would be the one with the lower volume while the solvent would be the solution with the higher volume.

What are liquid solutes?

The mixing of two liquids requires that one is a solute while the other is a solvent.

Thus, the solution with the higher volume acts as the solvent while the one with the lower volume act as the solute.

For example, a solution made by mixing 25% water with 75% alcohol has water as the solute and alcohol as the solvent.
