Saltwater is a solution because you can get fresh water and some salt and mix it and then you get saltwater.

Solute.
In a basic saltwater solution, the water molecules would be the solvent and the salt molecules would be the solute.
This is a solution of sodium chloride (NaCl) in water.
It would be the solute.
The solvent is the water (chemical formula H2O). The solute is the salt (table salt, NaCl or another substance).
A solution contains a solvent and a solute.The substance which is dissolved is called the solute.The substance into which the solute dissolves is called the solvent.Example: A saltwater solution contains salt as the solute and water as the solvent.
It is a supersaturated solution. These solutions are formed when a saturated solution with excess solute in it (like saltwater with extra salt on the bottom) is heated until all the solute dissolves. When the solution is cooled, the extra solute remains in solution--thus supersaturated because more solute is dissolved than should be at that temperature. The seed crystal provides an opportunity for the extra solute to come out of solution.

Water is the solvent.Salt is the solute.
Salt water is considered a mixture. This is because you can mix salt into water and you can also remove it.
salt water salt = solute water = solvent saltwater = solution
Mostly NaCl, Sodium Chloride, or just typical table salt. However, like most things in the real world its not 100% NaCl
