In which situation can it be difficult to call a substance the solute?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When two liquids mix in equal amounts
When two liquids of the same state are mixed in equal amounts, the usual larger-amount rule cannot identify the solvent and solute. Depending on context, either component may be described as the solvent or the mixture may be treated without a unique designation. In the other cases, the roles are clearer.
