Question

What is the difference between a solute and a solvent?

Answer 1

ꜱᴏʟᴜᴛᴇ is a substance that dissolves in a solvent in order to form a solution. Solutes can be in liquid, gaseous or solid phase. Normally, in a solution, solutes are in a lesser amount than the solvents. 

ꜱᴏʟᴠᴇɴᴛ is a substance with dissolving capability, thus can dissolve another substance. Solvents can be in a liquid, gaseous or solid state. Most commonly, liquids are used as solvents.

here is ur ans..

_____________________

⭕ solute:

Solute is a substance that dissolves in a solvent in order to form a solution. Solutes can be in liquid, gaseous or solid phase. Normally, in a solution, solutes are in a lesser amount than the solvents. When a solution has the maximum amount of solutes it can dissolve, then the solution is said to be saturated. The dissolution of a solute in a solvent changes the properties of the solvents.

⭕ Solvent:

Solvent is a substance with dissolving capability, thus can dissolve another substance. Solvents can be in a liquid, gaseous or solid state. Most commonly, liquids are used as solvents. Among liquids, water is considered as a universal solvent, because it can dissolve many substances than any other solvent. Gas, solid or any other liquid solute can be dissolved in liquid solvents. In gas solvents, only gas solutes can be dissolved.

⭕ Difference between solute and solvent

1. Solute is dissolved in a solvent. Therefore, solute is the one to be dissolved; solvent is responsible for dissolving it.

2. There can be different types of solutes dissolved in one solvent.

3. The amount of solvent in a solution is higher than the solute amount.
