The water in a 150 - mL flask is poured into a beaker that contains 600 milliliters of ethyl alcohol. Which substance is the solvent in this mixture?

The solvent is generally the substance present in the greater amount in a mixture. There are 600 mL of ethyl alcohol and 150 mL of water, so ethyl alcohol is the solvent. Its larger volume—not its density—makes choice C correct.
