Answer:

B.WATER

Explanation:

water can be s solute. A common example is a mixture of a small alcohol (methanol, ethanol, or propanol) which is said to be “totally miscible” with water. That means that the mixture can have ant proportions, ranging from a drop of alcohol in a large amount of water to a drop of water in a large amount of alcohol. The liquid which is present in greater quantity is considered the solvent and the other liquid is considered the solute.

-Example: 1 mL C2H5OH in 99 mL H20 water is the solvent

-but 1 mL H2O in 99 mL C2H50H water is the solute

water can be a solute and solvent.

what is a solute?

-A solute is a substance that can be dissolved by a solvent to create a solution. A solute can come in many forms. It can be gas, liquid, or solid. The solvent, or substance that dissolves the solute, breaks the solute apart and distributes the solute molecules equally

*Can a pepper dissolve on water?

- Pepper cannot dissolve on water

*why?

- because, pepper is hydrophobic, meaning that water is not attracted to it. Because of that, the pepper can't dissolve in the water. ...They line up in a certain way that gives the top of the water surface tension. Because pepper flakes are so light, and hydrophobic, the surface tension keeps them floating on top.

therefore PEPPER IS NOT A SOLUTE MATERIAL

Vinegar is an solvent

-Vinegar, for example, is a solution of acetic acid in water. In a solution of two liquids, it may be diffi- cult to say which substance is the solute and which is the solvent. In general, the substance present in the greater amount is the solvent. In vinegar, water is the solvent and acetic acid is the solute.

Soy sauce is an solvent

-Soy sauce's major component is soy beans which is the solute, and water which is the solvent. Soy sauce is called homogeneous mixture where a solute is completely mixed to solvent. Solute is a substance that is dissolved in solvent such as soy beans. Solvent is liquid substance that dissolves solute- water.
