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.

Has solution the same color of the solvent?

no. solution doesn't have the same color of the solvent. for example, if we dissolve salt in water. here salt is solute and water is solvent, so when the mixture prepared, it will not have the same color of water but slightly different color.


How can two solutions have the same concentration if one solution has twice as much of solvent?

If one solution has twice as much solvent, but has the same concentration then it also has twice as much insolvent.


Is there an easy way to differentiate between a solvent and a solute?

Solvent is in larger quantity and its state is the same as that of solution.


In a solution do the solute and solvent exist at the same temperature?

Yes, in a solution the solute and solvent usually exist at the same temperature because they are mixed together thoroughly, leading to uniform distribution of heat throughout the entire solution. This results in the solute and solvent achieving thermal equilibrium and therefore being at the same temperature.


In a solution the substance in which the solute dissolvent?

the solvent


Is oxygen a solvent or solution?

Oxygen is a solvent and if you want to know what a helium is then it is a solute.


Why would a solution be called isotonic?

A solution with the same ratio of solute to solvent (concentration) as another solution is called isotonic. If it has more solvent and thus a lower solute concentration, then it is called hypertonic.


What is the antonym of solute in science?

Usually, the substance present in the greatest amount is considered the solvent. Solvents can be gases, liquids, or solids. One or more components present in the solution other than the solvent are called solutes. The solution has the same physical state as the solvent.


Which part of the solution does the dissolving?

The solvent and the solvent dissolves the solute in a solution


Which is the solvent in a solution?

The solvent is the substance which dissolve the solute; for a sugar solution water is the solvent and sugar the solute.


How do you calculate the vapor pressure of a solution?

To calculate the vapor pressure of a solution, you can use Raoult's Law. This law states that the vapor pressure of a solution is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure solvent multiplied by the mole fraction of the solvent in the solution. This formula can be expressed as P(solution) X(solvent) P(solvent), where P(solution) is the vapor pressure of the solution, X(solvent) is the mole fraction of the solvent, and P(solvent) is the vapor pressure of the pure solvent.


What does a solute and solvent make up?

A solute and solvent make up a solution. The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent to form the solution. The solvent is the substance in which the solute is dissolved.
