Use the scenario to answer the next two questions

Making solutions

Solutions are mixtures that are very common in our daily lives. A solution is composed of a solute and a solvent.

Increasing the amount of solvent increases the temperature of a solution

b)

Increasing the temperature of the solute increases the amount of the solution
