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.

What are the three properties that a compound must possess in order for it to function well as an extraction solvent?
- the solvent must be miscible with the organic solute and not miscible with water- also any chemical reaction is permitted- higher yield of extraction- easy and complete recovery of the solvent
Is the concentration change after you add water to solution?
Adding more solute to a solution will increase its concentration. Adding more solvent will only dilute it. Think of salt water. The salt is the solute, and water is the solvent. Add salt and it becomes a more concentrated solution. Add more water, and it is more dilute. Simple and easy once you think it through.
How does temperature affect the amount of solute that can dissolve in a amount of solvent?
For the solute to be soluble the solvent must first break the existing bonds between the solute. Increasing heat energy breaks more of the existing bonds of the solute which allows the solvent to make more new bonds with the solute particles. This leads greater solubility of the solute in the solvent. (I don't think this applies if gas is the solute and solvent)
How can the solubility of a solution be decreased?
That's easy just choose one of these (not sure) U can heat the solute Or u can stir the solute Or u can crush the solute Or u can cool the solvent
What does to spread out evenly in a liquid mean?
They are always evenly spread in standard temperature pressure.
What does solvent mean in biology?
1_A solvent is either a liquid or gas that takes into itself a solute (which can be in the state of a solid, liquid or gas) and creates a solution.If we use a simple and easy example, we can get a handle on the idea. Take a glass of warm water, put a teaspoon of table salt in it, and stir it. The salt will dissolve in the water and "disappear" from view. The water is the solvent here, the salt is the solute in this example, and the resulting salt water is a solution that we created. It's that simple.Wikipedia has more information, and a link is provided to their post on solvent.A solvent is also the substance that dissolves the solute.2_The solvent is the substance that the solute or solutes dissolve (disappear in solvent) in and it forms the bulk of the solution . In a suger solution, sugar is the solute and water is the solvent .
How does a mixture separated?
it separates the soil by boiling the water and then you are left with the soil but if you want the water to be kept you use filtration!!! easy see The solvent is evaporated, the solute remain as solid crystals.
How can you differentiate between steel and diamond?
It is very easy to differentiate between diamond and steel. They have a completely different appearance, and a completely different chemical composition, and very different physical properties. I don't think that anyone gets these things confused.
How would you describe the process of separating mixture through evaporation?
it separates the soil by boiling the water and then you are left with the soil but if you want the water to be kept you use filtration!!! easy see The solvent is evaporated, the solute remain as solid crystals.
How do you get a solution with a sediment?
Really easy: put more solute in the solvent than the solvent can hold.If you're trying to make a saline solution with sediment and water can hold 25g/liter of salt (I just picked a number, sorry), put 50g/liter of salt in the water. 25g will dissolve, the rest will sink to the bottom.
How do you know if the fish is male or female?
That all depends upon the species of fish, Some are easy to differentiate between and others are impossible to tell.
What are two properties of a solution?
This is just easy. It is solute and solutant.
