Question

Difine solute and solvent? ​

Answer 1

Solute and Solvent are the part of the solution where the dissolved matter in any solution or mixture is called as the solute, while the liquid or gas that dissolves another liquid, solid or gas is called as the solvent.

A solution can be defined as the homogenous mixture of two or more substances. So in a solution, the substance which gets dissolved is solute, whereas solvent is the substance in which the solute will dissolve. There are many products in day to day life prepared by the mixture of one or many solutes and solvents and form a solution. These products are medicines, soaps, ointments, tea, coffee, lime juice, etc.
