Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context of the question: it asks for the term that describes a substance composed of nicotine (or another drug) mixed with other chemicals, which is heated during vaping.
Recall the common components involved in vaping: the substance heated is typically a liquid mixture containing nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals.
Review the definitions of the given terms: a catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed; a solvent is a substance that dissolves other substances; a precipitate is a solid formed from a solution during a chemical reaction.
Identify that the substance heated in vaping is a liquid mixture, not a catalyst, solvent alone, or precipitate.
