Question

A solution is prepared by dissolving 2 g of kcl in 100 g of h2o. in this solution, h2o is the ________.

Answer 1

H2o is acting as the solvent

Answer 2

Explanation:

A solution consists of two substances that are solute and solvent. A solute will always be present in small quantity than a solvent in a solution.

Whereas a solvent will always be present in larger amount as compared to the solute in a solution.

For example, if a solution is prepared by dissolving 2 g of KCl in 100 g of $H_{2}O$ then it means KCl is the solute and $H_{2}O$ is the solvent in which solute particles are dissolving.

Thus, we can conclude that a solution is prepared by dissolving 2 g of KCl in 100 g of $H_{2}O$. In this solution, $H_{2}O$ is the solvent.
