Which contains more solute particles: a 0.10 M aqueous solution of methanol (CH 3 OH) or a 0.10 M aqueous solution of salt (NaCl)?

When NaCl dissolves in water, it dissociates into two ions: Na+ and Cl-. Therefore, a 0.10 M solution of NaCl will contain twice as many solute particles as a 0.10 M solution of methanol, which does not dissociate into ions.
