What are solvent and solute of air?

Answer 1

using CNG in vehicles, using catalytic convertors

Answer 2

Air is primarily made up of nitrogen (N2) - 78%, oxygen (O2) - 21%, water vapor (H2O) - less than 1%, carbon dioxide (CO2) - less than 1%, methane (CH4) - less than 1%, hydrogen (H2) - less than 1%, argon (Ar) - less than 1%, and helium (He) - less than 1%. A solvent is defined as the most abundant component of a solution. Therefore, nitrogen (N2) is the solvent and all other components (H2O, CO2, CH4, H2, Ar, and He) are the solutes.

Answer 3

Solvent = substance that dissolves the solute and is present in the highest amount. Solute = substance that is dissolved in the solvent and is present in the lowest amount. Together = a solution. We typically only think of liquid solutions, but gaseous mixtures can also be thought of as solutions. In the case of water vapor (H2O in gas phase) in the air, the air is the solvent and the water vapor is the solute. Liquid H2O has reached a heat high enough that thermal motion has made the H2O molecules soluble in the air.

Answer 4

Since nitrogen is 78% of the atmosphere, nitrogen can be thought of as the solvent. The remainder of the gasses in the atmosphere, such as oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide can be thought of as the solutes.

Answer 5

air contains oxygen as the solute

and nitrogen as the solvent

Answer 6

water vapour in high quantities can cause certain animals to be killed last year alone 456 birds were killed by water vapour

Answer 7

This question makes no sense...

Answer 8

carbondioxide, oxygen

Answer 9

solute is water

Answer 10

Water is a solvent not a solute.
