The water in a 150-mL flask is poured into a beaker that contains 600 mL of ethyl alcohol. Which substance is the solvent in this mixture?
water because it is a very polar compound
ethyl alcohol because it has a lower density than water
ethyl alcohol because it has a much larger volume than water
water because it has dissolved in ethyl alcohol
I'm pretty sure it's "water because it is a very polar compound" since I know ethyl alcohol DOES dissolve in water and by using this knowledge I just used the process of elimination.
I know that doesn't help very much though, good luck.
