what is a solvent solute and solution
A solvent is a substance which dissolves a solute. When a solvent dissolves into a solute, it creates a solution. If i pour salt into a cup of water. The salt is the solute because it's being dissolved and the water is the solvent because it is doing the dissolving.
A solution is a liquid mixture (or a compound) in which a solute gets easily dissolved in a solvent. Usually, Solute is the smaller component of the solution which gets dissolved in the larger component, Solvent. Edit: Example- in Sugar solution, Sugar is the Solute and Water is the Solvent.
Making a saline water solution by dissolving table salt (NaCl) in water. The salt is the solute and the water the solvent. In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent. The solution more or less takes on the characteristics of the solvent including its phase, and the solvent is commonly the major fraction of the mixture. The concentration of a solute in a solution is a measure of how much of that solute is dissolved in the solvent, with regard to how much solvent is present like salt.
