    the sodium nitrate in this investigation is

    a) the solute

    b) undergoing chemical change

    Explanation:

    generally, solute is the substance which is added in solvent.

    The substance which is taken in relatively more volume is the solvent.

    so, here sodium nitrate (NaNO₃) is the solute which is dissolved in water (H₂O), which is solvent.

    The reaction between them is:

    NaNO₃ + H₂O ⇒ Na⁺ (aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq); (aq) denotes aqueous;

    so, here sodium nitrate undergoes chemical change into aqueous sodium ions (Na⁺) and aqueous nitrate ions (NO₃⁻).
