Which option correctly matches a liquid solute with a liquid solvent?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Ethanol in water
Ethanol is a liquid and water is also a liquid. They can mix uniformly, so ethanol in water represents a liquid-in-liquid solution. The component present in the smaller amount is generally called the solute, while the larger component is the solvent. Oxygen in water is gas in liquid, salt in water is solid in liquid, and zinc in copper is solid in solid. Thus option A is correct.
