Answer is: A. solute
.
Solvation is the interaction of solvent (in this example water) with molecules or ions (in this example carbon dioxide)) in a solute.
Solvent (usually a liquid, but can also be a solid or a gas) is a substance that dissolves a solute (dissolved in the solvent).
Solvent is always the same state of matter as the solution. In this example, soft drink is a liquid, so water is a solvent.
What part of chemistry is this
Because flame provides a source of heat so that the magnesium metal atoms can overcome their activation energy. Activation energy is the minimum energy required in order for a chemical reaction to proceed. When the magnesium metal burns it reacts with oxygen found in the air to form Magnesium Oxide.
Density is the mass of compound divided by its volume can be shown as follows:


40 mL of snow having 20 g of mass calculated from density.
Now, 10 cm of snow = 3.93 inches = 20 g
As, 10 inches of rain will produce 11 inches of ice as the volume of ice is bigger than rain water.
10 inches rain = 11 inches snow
3.93 inches of snow produced by

Thus, 3.57 incehs of rain produces by 10 cm snow.
This means a release of free energy from the system corresponds to a negative change in free energy, but to a positive change for the surroundings.
