The definition of solvent is "having assets in excess of liabilities; able to pay one's debts" or "able to dissolve other substances". Solvent is another way of debt-free or creditworthy. The definition of solvent is "having assets in excess of liabilities; able to pay one's debts" or "able to dissolve other substances". Solvent, in science terms, is a substance in which dissolves a liquid/solute like: a chemical of distant liquid, solid, or gas. Solvent is another way of debt-free or creditworthy. In Latin, Solvent is called "solvō" which means "I loosen, untie, I solve". "Solvent uses many chemicals using: pharmaceutical, oil, and gas industries which involve chemical syntheses and purification processes."  The most common solvent is water for polar molecules.

My sources were Wikapedia and goggle.
Hope this helped! I have a definition and synonyms for "Solvent". =)

A solvent (from the Latin solvō, "I loosen, untie, I solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute (a chemically distinct liquid, solid or gas), resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid or a gas. The quantity of solute that can dissolve in a specific volume of solvent varies with temperature. Common uses for organic solvents are in dry cleaning (e.g., tetrachloroethylene), as paint thinners (e.g., toluene, turpentine), as nail polish removers and glue solvents (acetone, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate), in spot removers (e.g., hexane, petrol ether), in detergents (citrus terpenes) and in perfumes (ethanol). Water is a solvent for polar molecules and the most common solvent used by living things; all the ions and proteins in a cell are dissolved in water within a cell. Solvents find various applications in chemical, pharmaceutical, oil, and gas industries, including in chemical syntheses and purification processes.

Which of the samples described below contains the FEWEST atoms? No calculation is needed to answer this question.
Monica [59]

Hello!

To do this, use the molar mass. This is how much a mole of an atom weighs. A mole is 6.02214076×10²³ atoms.

Molar masses of:

Se: 78.96 g/mol

Cu: 63.546 g/mol

Ba: 137.327 g/mol

Now, the element with the highest molar mass will have the fewest atoms. This is because the element weighs more, so therefore for the same amount of mass, there will be less of the element needed to reach that mass.

Therefore, 10g of Ba would have the fewest number of atoms.

Hope this helps!
