Which option correctly states the states of solute and solvent?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: In salt water salt is solid solute and water is liquid solvent
In salt water, salt starts as a solid and is the substance that dissolves, so it is the solute. Water is liquid and provides the dissolving medium, so it is the solvent. Air contains gases, brass has solid metallic components, and water in soda water remains liquid. Thus only option B correctly identifies both substances and their states.
