Answer:
What is Solute?
A substance that is dissolved in a solution is called a solute.
Characteristics of Solute
- A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
- The particles of solute in a solution cannot be seen by the naked eye.
- A solution does not allow beams of light to scatter.
- A solution is stable.
- The solute from a solution cannot be separated by filtration (or mechanically).
- It is composed of only one phase.
What is a Solution?
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.
Properties of Solution
Different properties of solutions are as follows:
- It is a homogeneous mixture.
- Its particles are too tiny and have a diameter less than 1 nm.
- The particles are not visible to naked eyes.
- Particles don’t scatter a beam of light passing through it and hence the path of the light is not visible.
- Solutes are inseparable from the mixture and do not sediment. A solution is stable.
- The components of a mixture cannot be separated using filtration.
