Chapter 4, Problem 4.1QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The solution, solute and solvent are should be explained by using the process of dissolving a solid in a liquid.

Concept introduction:

Solution:

• The solute is dissolved in solvent to produced solution.

Solute:

• The solid which is dissolved in the solution is called solute.

Solvent:

• The liquid which is dissolving the solute in it shelf is called solvent.

Answer to Problem 4.1QP

• The solute is dissolved in solvent to produced solution.
• The substance present in lesser amount is called solute and substance present in higher amount is called solvent.
• In solution the solute is mostly solid and solvent is always in liquid.

To explain solution, solute and solvent by using the process of dissolving a solid in a liquid

Explanation of Solution

• The solute is a substance, which is present in the small quantity in solution.
• The solvent is a substance, which is present in the large quantity in solution.
• Normally the solvent is liquid but in solute are solid or liquid and gas.
• The solution is prepared by the dissolving of solute in solvent , for example the normal salt is a solute and water is a solvent, this solute (salt) is dissolved in water (solvent) to produced solution (salt water).

                              $\begin{array}{l}\text{solvent}\text{+}\text{solute}\to \text{solution}\\ \text{salt}\text{+}\text{water}\to \text{salt}\text{water}\text{solution}\end{array}$

Conclusion

The solution, solute and solvent are explained by using the process of dissolving a solid in a liquid.
