Question

what is another term that can be used for a mixture of salt and water?
solute
□
solution
□
solvent
□

Explanation:

To determine the term for a salt - water mixture, we analyze the definitions:

• A solute is the substance (like salt) that gets dissolved.
• A solvent is the substance (like water) in which the solute dissolves.
• A solution is a homogeneous mixture formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent. Since salt (solute) dissolves in water (solvent), their mixture is a solution.

Answer:

Solution (the option corresponding to "Solution" should be selected, e.g., if the "Solution" option has a checkbox, that checkbox should be marked)
