No salt is a solute
In a salt solution, the salt is the solute and the substance in which the salt dissolves is the solvent. For example, in a saltwater solution, salt (sodium chloride) is the solute and water is the solvent.
The solvent is water, the solute is salt; solvent and solute form a solution.
Solute, because it is the minor component in the solution and it is what dissolves in the solvent. For example: Salt Water - The salt is the solute that dissoles in the solvent, which is water.
A solvent is a substance that dissolves the solute in a solution. For example, in salt water, water is the solvent and the salt is the solute. Water dissolves the salt.
Solvent is the largest amount in the solution. Example: water and salt. the water is the solvent because it overcomes the salt.
To prepare a salt solution, dissolve the salt (solute) in water (solvent). The salt will fully dissolve in the water, creating a homogenous solution. The resulting liquid is now a salt solution, where the water is the solvent and the salt is the solute.
In a salt water solution, the salt is dissolved in the water, therefore salt is the solute and water is the solvent.
The salt is the solute and the water is the solvent. Water is the solvent because it is what dissolves the solid salt into the solution. The water molecules pull apart the crystal structure of salt and surround the salt ions.
Salt is the solute, not the solvent !
No. The "solvent" is the liquid that does makes the solid dissolve.For example, in a solution of salt water, the solvent is "water", and the solute is salt.
When you want to dissolve salt, you use water as the solvent, and salt is therefore the solute.
Salt is not a universal solvent. Water is often referred to as the universal solvent due to its ability to dissolve a wide variety of substances. Salt, on the other hand, is a solute that can dissolve in water or other solvents to form a solution.
