Question

5.5g of carbon dioxide is dissolved into 150 mL of coke. Which substance represents the solvent

Answer 1

This is a gas liquid solution which can make determining which one is the solvent/solute difficult. Because the carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the coke liquid, the gas is the solute and the coke is the solvent.

An example of a gas liquid solution that where the liquid is the solute would be in humid air where water is dissolved into the air.

Let me know if I can clear anything up.
