Question

Is the mass of the solution increased decreased or conserved when a solute is added to a solvent?

Answer 1

the mass of the solution will increase

Explanation:

Given: Is the mass of a solution increased, decreased or conserved when a solute is added to the solvent?

When mixing two substances, the larger of the two, is the solvent, and the smaller is the solute.

If you add 5 g of salt (solute) with 100 ml (`~~` 100 g) of water, the solution will have a mass of 105 g.

This means when you add a solute to a solvent, the mass of the solution will increase.
