Which statement shows that a solvent is not always liquid?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A solid metal can be the solvent in brass
A solvent is the component that provides the main medium for dissolving the solute. Its physical state need not be liquid. In brass, a solid metal forms the main medium and another metal is distributed through it. The other examples involve water or another liquid, so they do not show a solid solvent.
