How do salt and water form a solution? a. the solvent, salt, must dissolve the solute, water. b. the solvent, salt, must dissolve in the solute, water. c. the solute, salt, must dissolve the solvent, water. d. the solute, salt, must dissolve in the solvent, water

The solute, salt must dissolve in the solvent, water.

Explanation:

Solute is defined as the substance which is present in smaller proportion in a solution.

Solvent is defined as the substance which is present in larger proportion in a solution.

Solution is the combination of solute and solvent.

In a solution, a solute will always dissolve in solvent.

We are given:

Salt and water to form a solution. Here, salt is present in smaller proportion, so it is a solute and water is a solvent.

Hence, the solute, salt must dissolve in the solvent, water.
