Which option correctly identifies both solute and solvent?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: In hydrogen in palladium hydrogen is solute and palladium is solvent
The governing rule is that the solute is the substance dissolved, while the solvent is the continuous medium that dissolves it. In hydrogen dissolved in palladium, hydrogen occupies the dissolved component role and palladium provides the solid medium, so hydrogen is the solute and palladium is the solvent. Thus C is correct. In air nitrogen is the major solvent, and in soda water and salt water water is the solvent, so A, B, and D reverse the roles.
