<span>Silver is usually alloyed with copper to increase the hardness and strength of sterling silver. Pure silver is relatively soft and prone to tarnishing so other metals like those that copper is used to reduce tarnishing and act as a solute in sterling silver. Copper is usually soluble in most solvents.</span>

The components of the substance is the solute and the solvent. The one that exists in a larger amount is most referred to as the solvent and the one that is in smaller amount is the solute. Comparing the amounts of the substances, the solute would be the copper.

Mrrafil [7]

Thermal energy is an example of kinetic energy, as it is due to the motion of particles, with motion being the key. Thermal energy results in an object or a system having a temperature that can be measured. Thermal energy can be transferred from one object or system to another in the form of  heat.                hope this helps

They are substances that produce ions when they dissolve in water.
stira [4]

Electrolytes are substances that produce ions when they dissolve in water.

What are electrolytes?

When some substances are dissolved in water, they undergo physical or chemical changes, creating ions in solution. These substances form an important class of compounds called electrolytes. Substances that do not release ions when dissolved are called non-electrolytes. A substance is said to be a strong electrolyte if the physical or chemical process that produces ions is inherently 100% efficient (all dissolved compounds produce ions). A solute is said to be a weak electrolyte if only a relatively small portion of the solute undergoes ion production processes.

By measuring the electrical conductivity of aqueous solutions containing substances, substances can be identified as strong, weak, or non-electrolyte. To conduct electricity, a substance must contain free-moving charged species. The best known is the conduction of electricity through metal wires. In this case, the mobile charged unit is the electron.

Therefore, Electrolytes are substances that produce ions when they dissolve in water.
