The term solvents usually refers to organic solvents, which contain carbon. Organic solvents can be classified into three main types: oxygenated solvents, hydrocarbon solvents, and halogenated solvents. Oxygenated solvents contain oxygen and are synthesized from other chemicals.
Gasses never are solvents. Air is a mixture-not a solution-of more gasses, none of them are solvent nor solute. When oxygen dissolves in water then this gas is the solute in water (the solvent). solvent is a substance that dissolves the solute in a solution. For example, in salt water, water is the solvent and the salt is the solute. Water dissolves the salt. 2 people found this useful. Edit.
