Question

What do you called a substance that dissolved in another substance which is in greater amount?

Answer 1

Answer:

Usually, the substance present in the greatest amount is considered the solvent. Solvents can be gases, liquids or solids. One or more components present in the solution other than the solvent are called solutes.

Answer 2

'The substance that dissolves in another substance of greater amount is called a solute.'

• The solute is the salt or compound which dissolves in the solvent. For example, sugar.
• A solvent is a liquid that dissolves the solute. For example, water.
• The dissolving of the solute in the solvent leads to the formation of a solution. For example, saltwater.
• The solute needs to be in a lesser quantity so that it can get dissolved in the solvent.
