• The solute is dissolved in a solvent to form the solution.

        Here, salt acts as a solute then water will act as a solvent.

Answer 2

Salt : solute:: water: solvent

• As we know that the solution is composed of solute and solvent.
• So, The component which is in a comparatively smaller amount is called as a solute.
• Then The solute is dissolved in a solvent to form the solution.
• Thus, The component which is in greater amount is termed as solvent.

       Here, salt acts as a solute then the water will act as a solvent.
