A Solution Is Made by Mixing 50 Grams of CHCl₃

A solution is made by mixing 50 grams of CHCl₃ (liquid) with 10 grams of CH₂Cl₂ (liquid) . Which of the two is considered the solute and why?

A) CHCl₃ is the solute because it is in the greater amount.
B) CHCl₃ is the solute because it is in the lesser amount.
C) CH₂Cl₂ is the solute because it is in the greater amount.
D) CH₂Cl₂ is the solute because it is in the lesser amount.
E) Neither is the solute because they are both liquids at ambient conditions and therefore are solvents.
