Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.
A mixture primarily consists of the solute and the solvent. The solvent constitutes the majority of the amount in the mixture. Since ethanol account for 7%, then water must be 93%, considering other inert materials to be negligible.
Thus, the solute is ethanol and the solvent is water.
This question can be solved using the concept of friction energy.
The thermal energy change is b "258.4 J".
The change in thermal energy will be equal to the friction energy produced during the motion of the box.

where,
μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.4
f = force applied = 38 N
d = distance traveled by the box = 17 m
Therefore,

<u>E = 258.4 J</u>
