∙ 15y agoYou are probably referring to a solution of NaCl and water, in which case NaCl would be the solute. Water would be the solvent, and combined they make the whole solution.

What is the best solvent to dissolve NaCl?
The best solvent of NaCl is water.
What is the difference between a solute and solvent?
In a solution, the particles which are present in larger quantity are called solvent and the particles which are present in smaller quantity are called solute. For example, in aqueous NaCl solution: NaCl is the solute particle and H2O is the solvent.
Why does nacl not dissovle in ethanol?
Because ethanol is not a polar solvent.
Is NaCl most likely to dissolve in benzene a nonpolar solvent?
no
Use the term solvent and solute to describe how to prepare a salt solution?
The solute (NaCl) is dissolved in the solvent (water)
Nacl does the solution conduct electricity?
A solution of NaCl in a solvent in which the cations and anions separate, for example in water, can conduct electricity.
How much NaCl require for 0.15M nacl solution?
To get 0.15 moles of NaCl, mass of NaCl = moles * molar mass = 0.15 * (23+35.5) = 8.775 g and 0.15M is 0.15 mole of NaCl in on liter solvent which equals 8.775 g then ypu add solvent up to 1 liter.
What an example of a solution of a solid solute and a solid solvent?
NaCl in frozen water NaCl in BaI2 (assuming BaI2 has the greater amount)
What accounts for water's of adhesion and cohesion?
The solute (NaCl) is dissolved in the solvent (water)
Does NaCl dissolve in petroleum ether?
It is not soluble.
What is a solute's and what is the solvent in a saltwater solution?
The solvent is the water (chemical formula H2O). The solute is the salt (table salt, NaCl or another substance).
What is the molality of a solution that has 70g of NaCl dissolved in 300g of water?
Molality(m)= moles of solute divided by kilograms(kg) of solvent you need to find the moles of NaCl by using a conversion factor 70g NaCl = 1mol divided by 58.44g NaCl =1.20mol then you need to convert 300g of water which is the solvent to kilograms by moving the decimal over 3 units to the left which makes .300 kg of solvent Molality= 1.20mol divided by .300kg Molality=4.00
