Solvent is the liquid that dissolves a solid to make a solution
Explanation:
Solvent - Solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid that dissolves a solid, liquid or gaseous solute.
Solute - A solute is a substance dissolved in another substance.
Solution - A solution is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. A solute and a solvent together make up a solution.
