Solution

The solvent in this scenario is the water. Here's why:

  1. A solution is made up of two components: the solute and the solvent.
  2. The solute is the substance that is being dissolved, while the solvent is the substance in which the solute is dissolved.
  3. In this case, the sodium chloride (commonly known as table salt) is the solute because it is the substance being dissolved.
  4. The water, therefore, is the solvent because it is the substance in which the sodium chloride is being dissolved.
