Question

question 1
in a solution made by dissolving nacl in water, the solute is:
nacl
na+
cl-
h2o

Explanation:

A solution consists of a solute (the substance being dissolved) and a solvent (the substance doing the dissolving). Here, NaCl is dissolved in water. Water (\(H_2O\)) is the solvent. When NaCl dissolves, it dissociates into \(Na^+\) and \(Cl^-\) ions, but the original solute before dissociation is NaCl. \(Na^+\) and \(Cl^-\) are the ions formed from the solute NaCl.

Answer:

NaCl
