  • Solvent and Solute Identification: Ethanol & Sucrose Solution
    Here's how to determine the solvent and solute in this solution:

    * Solvent: The solvent is the component present in the larger amount and dissolves the other component. In this case, ethanol is the solvent because it makes up 100g of the solution, while sucrose only makes up 3g.

    * Solute: The solute is the component that dissolves in the solvent. Here, sucrose is the solute because it is present in a smaller amount and is dissolved in the ethanol.

    Therefore, the solvent is ethanol, and the solute is sucrose.
