Interpretation: To identify the solute and the solvent in a solution of table sugar and water.
Concept Introduction: A solute is defined as a substance that is dissolved in the solute to form a solution. Generally, the concentration of the solute will be less as compared to that of the solvent. The solvent will be in higher quantity as compared to the solute in a solution.
Answer to Problem 38A
In the solution of table sugar and water, water will be the solvent, and table sugar will be the solute.
Explanation of Solution
In the solution of table sugar and water, the table sugar will be in less quantity and the water is in more quantity. The solution will be the unsaturated solution. After adequate mixing of the solute and the solvent, the solution will become saturated. The compound in less quantity is called a solute and the compound in more quantity is called a solvent.
The solute along with the solvent will make a solution. The solution can be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated solutions are those in which the solute cannot be dissolved at a certain temperature. Unsaturated solutions are those in which the solute can be dissolved at a given temperature.
