B. solvent
solute is the substance being dissolved
The pressure of the gas is expected to increase in accordance to Boyle's law.
<h3>What is Boyle's law?</h3>
Boyle's law states that, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature.
By implication, when the piston is lowered and the volume of the gas is decreased, the pressure of the gas is expected to increase in accordance to Boyle's law.

Answer:
The balloon becomes inflated
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction between baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar(ethanoic acid) is shown below;
NaHCO3 + HC2CH3O2 ------> NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2
The gas (CO2) evolved in the process leads to the inflation of the balloon dropped on the bottle in which the reaction is taking pace.
This observation provides evidence that a gas was really evolved in the reaction.
