Identify the solvent in a saltwater solution.

• Salt

• Water

• Both salt and water

• Neither salt nor water

What is the difference between a concentrated and a diluted solution?

• A concentrated solution has more solute than a diluted solution

• A diluted solution has more solute than a concentrated solution

• Both have the same amount of solute
