Which best describes a swimming pool? a. solute b. solvent c. solution d. reactant e. product

Solute : It is the substance added in small amount to a solvent to form solution.

NaCl is solute in salt water

Solvent: it the substance taken in large amount to dissolve solute and hence to form solution.

In Salt solution the water is solvent

Solution : it is the homogeneous mixture of solvent (taken in larger amount) and solute (taken in small amount) .There is no distinct physical boundary between solvent and solute in a solution

Swimming pool is an example of solution as it contains solvent (water) and dissolve ions or chemicals (solute)

Reactant: it is the substance which reacts in a reaction

product: the reactants react in a reaction to produce another substance known as product.

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
