AMembranes
BSolutes
CSolvent
DColloids
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Solutes
1. Solvent and solute are defined against each other.
2. The component at significantly greater concentration is the solvent.
3. The other components present in relatively lesser concentrations are called solutes.
4. In salt water the water is solvent and the dissolved salt is solute.
