70% to passRegarding a freshwater generator of the reverse-osmosis type, what statement is true?
AThe solute is salt and the solvent is fresh water.
BThe solute is fresh water and the solvent is salt.
CThe solute is salt and the solvent is salt water.
DThe solute is salt water and the solvent is salt.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) The solute is salt and the solvent is fresh water. In a reverse-osmosis freshwater generator, the seawater (which contains dissolved salts) is the solute, and the freshwater produced is the solvent. The reverse-osmosis process separates the salts from the seawater, leaving the freshwater as the final product. The other options are incorrect because B) and D) have the solute and solvent reversed, while C) incorrectly identifies both the solute and solvent as salt water.
