A solution is made by mixing 50 grams of CHCI3 (liquid) with 10 grams of CH2CI2 (liquid). Which of the two is considered the solute and why? Neither is the solute because they are both liquids at ambient conditions and therefore are solvents. OCHCI3 is the solute because it is in the greater amount. CH2CI2 is the solute because it is in the greater amount. OCHCI3 is the solute because it is in the lesser amount. CH2CI, is the solute because it is in the lesser amount.
