The combination of solute and solvent?
For example, if you dissolve some tablesalt (NaCl) (maybe 1 gram) in water (H2O) (maybe 1000 grams), the solute will be the tablesalt and the solvent will be the water. Generally speaking, the solid that dissolves in a fluid (gas or liquid) is called the "solute". If the solution is one made of fluids, (for example 1000 gram ethylic alcohol + 10 gram water), the solvent is the fluid in greater amount (in our example, ethylic alcohol is the solvent and water the solute).
