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.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Total pressure increased

Explanation:

When gas C is added in the vessel then number of mole increases and number of collision depends on the number of molecules present in the vessel and on adding gas C ,mole also increases hence  number of collision increases therefore pressure also increases because number of collision increases.

Total pressure increases.

Irina18 [472]
Average speed is total distance divided by total time.

Total distance is 50 m + 150 m + 300 m = 500 m
Total time is 68 s + 35 s + 22 s = 125 s

Average speed is 500 m / 125 s = 4 m/s

<h2>Answer </h2>

Matter

<u>Explanation </u>

A matter has distinct properties and composition that never vary. The matter is anything which possesses mass and occupies space. The matter has different characteristics and a distribution that does not change from unit to unit. Materials which cannot be disintegrated into simpler materials. Each is made of only one kind of atom in subatomic level. For example, a chair, table, and similar everything that has mass and occupies space is matter.
