Which of the following concerning solutions is/are correct? 1. The solvent in a mixture of gases is generally considered to be the substance in greater amount. 2. The solid dissolved in a solution is known as the solute. 3. Solid solutions are called alloys.

1. The solvent in a mixture of gases is generally considered to be the substance in greater amount. 2. The solid dissolved in a solution is known as the solute. 3. Solid solutions are called alloys.

Explanation:

A binary solution is made up of two components ,called as solute and another as solvent.

A solute is defined as the component which is present in smaller proportion. It can be in solid, liquid or gaseous phase. A solvent is defined as the component which is present in larger proportion in a solution. It can be in solid, liquid or gaseous phase.

Usually in liquid solutions , solid acts as solute and liquid acts as solvent. For example: In salt solution, salt is the solute and water is the solvent.

Solid solutions contains solid as solute and solid as solvent. These are called as alloys. For example : In brass, zinc is the solute and copper is the solvent.

the volume increases

c. orbital shape i hope this is correct
