Lemon water : lemon is the solute and water is a solvent .
Tincture of iodine : iodine is the solute and alcohol is the solvent.

Answer 2

• Aerated drinks: Solvent = Water, Solute =  CO2
• Tincture of iodine: Solvent = Alcohol, Solute = Iodine
• Lemon water: Solute = Solvent = Water, Sugar,  acid  (lemon juice)

Explanation:

• A solution is a homogeneous mixture of solutes dissolved in a solvent.
• A solute may be a  substance to be dissolved and the solvent is the dissolution medium.
• Solutions are often formed with different types and forms of solutes and solvents.
• Water is a superb solvent because of its polarity and ability to form hydrogen bonds.  This suggests it can dissolve many different types of molecules.
• Solutes are usually contained in small amounts in solvents. Common samples of solutes are salt and water. Salt may be a  solute because it dissolves in water.
