Question

A mixture of 80 ml ethanol and 20 ml water can be called a solution of water in ethanol.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Solution:

• A solution contains two components one is solute and another is solvent.
• Solution= Solute + solvent

Solute:

• A solute is a substance that presents in smaller proportions and dissolves in the solvent to make a solution.
• For example In salt solution, salt is the solute.

Solvent:

• A solvent is a substance that can dissolve a given solute and form a solution with it.
• For example, in salt solution water is the solvent.

A mixture of 80 ml ethanol and 20 ml water:

• In this given mixture water is present In less amount so it would be solute while ethanol will be solvent.
• So it can be said as a solution of water in ethanol.

So, it can be said as a solution of water in ethanol. Therefore the given statement is True.
