If I have 2.5mL of KCl and 3 mL of water. Which one is my solvent?...

If I have 2.5mL of KCl and 3 mL of water.

Which one is my solvent? _____________________________

Which one is my solute? ______________________________

Expert Solution

Defination of solvent: A solvent is a medium or substance in which another substance (called solute) is dissolved and prepare a homogeneous mixture. e.g water, methanol, acetone, etc.

In solution, solvent is excess amount than the solute.

Defination of solute: A solute is a substance which is dissolved in another medium or substance. It is dissolved by association or dissociation or some polar or hydrogen bonding interaction with the solvent. e.g., sugar, KCl, NaCl etc.

Solution = solute + solvent

Here We have 2.5 mL KCl and 3 mL Water

So 3mL water is a pure solvent that can dissolve KCl.

On the other hand, KCl is a solid substance, it can dissolve in water. so it is solute. Here you have 2.5 mL KCl, which means it is itself a solution.

If you mixed 2.5 ml KCl with 3 mL water and prepare a solution then 2.5 mL KCl will be solute (which is less amount) and water will be solvent (which is excess amount).

Imagine you have two beakers: one with 750 ml of sea water and one with 750 ml of distilled water. You bubble CO2 into each and take the pH of each solution every minute for 15 minutes. Q1: Why did pH decrease when CO2 was added to water and sea water? Q2: Why did the pH of the water decrease more quickly than the sea water? Explain how the buffer system in our blood is related to ocean acidification. According...

I was supposedly recording myself and explain how I have arrived in my chosen topic which is 'social media algorithm' using freewriting and clustering but it turned out my explanations are wrong and felt sad coz I spend my whole week doing this thing. how can I explain this? our recording should only limit at 2-4 minutes. I need help. I'm really feeling swamped right now.

My hot water system maintains a volume of 200L of water, which it heats at a rate of 1 ◦C per minute, up to a maximum temperature of 60◦C. On a winter's morning, the tank is full of water at this maximum temperature. While the shower is on, the tank is relled with water from the cold water source, which is at 10◦C. Assume the water in the tank maintains a uniform temperature (because is well-mixed). In my shower, the...

I have a high definition antennae mounted on my house in my backyard. As I don’t exactly have a high ladder, it is mounted quite low, and we don’t receive many channels. The current height is 12 feet. My friend has offered to let me borrow a 15 foot high ladder. It is recommended to mount the lad- der at a 76 degree angle to the ground to prevent it from sliding out. I will be mounting the antennae 4...

I am doing a paper on stressors and my stressor is my job. I have had an arguement with a superior who is know for being a bully, but i stood up to him and could end up unemployed. Having four kids, a wife, and bills to pay, this could be devastating. Using this stressor, what physiological changes occur in the brain due to the stress response? And what emotional and cognitive effects might occur due to this stressful situation?
