Explanation:
A single-replacement reaction replaces one element for another in a compound.
A double-replacement reaction exchanges the cations (or the anions) of two ionic compounds.
A precipitation reaction is a double-replacement reaction in which one product is a solid precipitate.
Solubility rules are used to predict whether some double-replacement reactions will occur.
Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy present in the components of a mechanical system. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. All energy can be expressed in Joules (including thermal <span>energy</span>
A compound is a pure substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements.
A compound may be splitted into simpler substances by chemical reactions, and has different properties to those of the elements that form it.
The composition of a compound is fixed: every piece of a compound has the same kind of atoms, bonded in the same way and proportion.
Some examples of compounds are H₂O, NaCl, H₂O₂, CH₃COOH. As you see, they have a chemical formula which states the kind and number of the atoms that form them.
They are different to mixtures, which are formed by two or more compounds, in a variable proportion, and can be separated by physical media. Some examples of mixtures are the solutions (e.g. NaCl dissolved in H₂O), and some solid mixtures (e.g. a mixture of marbles and sand).
The answers would be:
In a solution, the solvent is present in a greater amount.
In a solutions, the solute dissolves in a solvent.
In general, these are the best answers. The solute is what is being dissolved and the solvent is what dissolves. A solvent comes in greater amounts in a solution and it is the dissolving agent.
For example, sugar and water.
To make a sugar water solution, you will need to dissolve sugar in water. Sugar is the solute in this case because it is what is being dissolved. The water is the solvent, because it dissolves the sugar.
If you had more sugar than water, then you cannot make a solution.
