How about salt and water ?

solution is liquid (salt water)
solvent is liquid (water)
solute is in your salt shaker, solid grains

To determine which statement about a solid-liquid solution is true, let's analyze the options:

1. The solution and the solvent are liquid; the solute is a solid.
In this statement, it suggests that both the solution and solvent are in a liquid state, while the solute is a solid. However, in a solid-liquid solution, the solvent is typically in a liquid state, and the solute is a solid that is dissolved in the solvent. Therefore, this statement is not true.

2. The solvent is a liquid, the solute is a solid, and the solution will vary.
This statement accurately describes a solid-liquid solution. The solvent is a liquid, the solute is a solid, and the solution can vary in concentration depending on the amount of solute dissolved in the solvent. This statement is true.

3. The solution and the solute are liquid; the solvent is a solid.
In this statement, it suggests that both the solution and solute are in a liquid state, while the solvent is a solid. However, in a solid-liquid solution, the solvent is typically in a liquid state, and the solute is a solid dissolved in it. Therefore, this statement is not true.

4. The solute is a liquid, the solvent is a solid, and the solution will vary.
This statement suggests that the solute is a liquid and the solvent is a solid. However, in a solid-liquid solution, the solvent is typically in a liquid state, and the solute is a solid dissolved in it. Therefore, this statement is not true.

Therefore, the correct statement about a solid-liquid solution is:

The solvent is a liquid, the solute is a solid, and the solution will vary.
