Question

in an aqueous solution the ________ is water. options: solution, solvent, solute (with an image showing solids, solvent, solution)

Explanation:

In a solution, the solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute, and in an aqueous solution, water acts as the solvent (since aqueous means "dissolved in water"). A solution is the mixture of solute and solvent, and a solute is the substance being dissolved, so water can't be the solute here.

Answer:

B. Solvent
