Question

1. which component makes up the majority of a solution? (1 point)

solvent
neither; solutions are always half solute and half solvent.
solute
liquid

Explanation:

A solution consists of a solute (the substance being dissolved) and a solvent (the substance in which the solute is dissolved). By definition, the solvent is the component that is present in a larger amount in a solution. For example, in a salt - water solution, water (the solvent) is present in a much larger quantity than salt (the solute). Solutions are not always half - solute and half - solvent. Also, 'liquid' is a general state of matter and not a specific component of a solution in the context of solute - solvent classification.

Answer:

solvent
