Question

1/21 substance that is dissolved in a solution. solvent solute base suspension

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definitions of the terms:

• Solvent: The substance that dissolves another (the solute).
• Solute: The substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution.
• Base: A substance with specific chemical properties (like accepting protons), not related to dissolution in this context.
• Suspension: A heterogeneous mixture, not a dissolved substance.

The question asks for the substance dissolved in a solution, so the correct term is "Solute".

Answer:

B. Solute (assuming the options are labeled as A. Solvent, B. Solute, C. Base, D. Suspension; if the second option is "Solute", that's the answer)
