Answer 1

In a salt solution, salt is to solute while water is to solvent

Explanation:

• A solvent is a component in a solution that is present in a large amount.
• A solute is a component in a solution in a lesser amount.
• In a NaCl solution, the salt is the solute and water is the solvent.
• A solution may possibly contain one or more solutes.
• When water is the solvent in a solution, then the solution is called an aqueous solution.
• Here, Nacl (salt solution) is the aqueous solution.
