Question

a solution consists of two parts: a solvent and a solute. what is the solvent? the energy that holds the solution together the substance in which the solute dissolves the container that holds all of the solution

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the definition of a solvent in a solution. A solution has a solvent (the substance doing the dissolving) and a solute (the substance being dissolved). The first option refers to energy, which is not related to the solvent's definition. The third option refers to a container, which is not the solvent. The second option matches the definition of a solvent as the substance in which the solute dissolves.

Answer:

B. the substance in which the solute dissolves (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C with A being "the energy that holds the solution together", B being "the substance in which the solute dissolves", and C being "the container that holds all of the solution")
