Identify the solutes and the solvents for the following solutions:
Table sugar (C12H22O11) in water
Air (A solution of 78% N2, 21%O2 and various other gases)
A solution of 30% ethanol and 70%water
Bronze( an alloy of 95% copper and 5%tin)
CO2(g) in water

A solute is what dissolves in a solvent. A solute is usually present in smaller quantities than the solvent.
1) Table sugar, will dissolve in water. So Table sugar is the solute and water is the solvent.
2) Gases are the solutes. Air is the solvent.
3) Solute: ethanol. Solvent: water
4) Solute: Tin. Solvent: Copper
5) Solute: CO2(g). Solvent: Water
