Trevon · Answer 1

Oxygen is solvent and Helium is solute.

Explanation:

Helium is a complety inert gas which do not react with other compounds whereas, oxygen can take part in chemical reaction with many compounds.

if we mix 15 mL of oxygen and 5mL of helium then the oxygen is the solvent and helium is solute. In a mixture the compound with the greater volume is solvent and the compound with lwss volume is solute. in this case, oxygen has greater volume than that of helium so oxygen is solute and helium is solvent here.
