What is Solvent?

  • Solvent is a substance in which the solute is dissolved.
  • polar and non polar are two types of solvent.

What are Polar solvents and Non Polar solvents?

  • A solvent which has dipole moments are known as polar solvents.
  • A polar solvent can dissolve ions and other polar compounds.
  • A non polar solvent is a solvent which does not have dipole moments.

What is solute?

  • A substance that dissolves in solution is called solute.
  • When two liquids are mixed to form a solution, the solute is the species that is present in the smaller ratio.

Why Methanol is the solvent in this solution?

  • Methanol is the component that has the greatest volume compared to other solvents.
  • It means that it is found in a greater proportion. So methanol is the solvent in this solution.
