In ocean water is salt a solvent or a solute?
A solute
Recall that
a solvent is the substance that dissolves other substances, and is usually present in the greatest amount
a solute is a substance that is dissolved by a solvent, and is present in lower amounts than the solvent usually.
Salt is obviously the substance being dissolved...
Salt can be dissolved in any type of water really, (like homemade salt water!)

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
