In which example is water the solvent?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Salt water
In salt water, salt dissolves in water, so water acts as the solvent and salt is the solute. Because water is the solvent, the mixture is also called an aqueous solution. Brass has a solid metallic medium, air has a gaseous medium, and hydrogen in palladium has solid palladium as the medium, so those options do not fit.
