Answer 2

Water is the solvent of sand and water mixture. However, sand cannot be called solute as it is insoluble in water.

• When a substance can be dissolved in water, it is called a solute.
• A substance that has the ability to dissolve another substance is called the solvent.
• In this sand and water mixture, water is the solvent as it has the ability to dissolve other substances when mixed in it.
• However, sand cannot dissolve in water because the molecular bond of water is not strong enough to dissolve sand which makes sand an insoluble substance.
• Therefore, water can be called a solvent but sand is not the solute in this mixture.
