A solution is a uniform mixture made up of two or more substances.
The solute is what is being dissolved by the solvent.
solution
When a solution forms, particles of the solute surround and separate the particles of the solute.
This is a homogeneous solution.
The process if solute disappearing into solvent is called dissolving. This means that the solute and solvent are of like polarity or the solute was broken up into ions.
Soda water is made up of carbon dioxide gas dissolved in water. Neither of these substances is an element. They are both compounds. Carbon dioxide is the solute. Water is the solvent. Soda water is a solution.
Solute silica may be in form of silica gel. Silica is usually made up of silicon which is combined with oxygen.

Vodka. made of ethyl alcohol and water.
This is a homogeneous solution.
A solute generally dissolves more rapidly the warmer the solvent. Also, any mixing or moving of the solute, and also if the solute is broken up (increases surface area) both speed up dissolving.
The process if solute disappearing into solvent is called dissolving. This means that the solute and solvent are of like polarity or the solute was broken up into ions.
solute is the one which is dissolved from a solvent. A solute is a homologous mixture, made of two or more substances. Mixtures have a solute that is dissolved into another substance called the solvent. The solute is not as concentrated in the mixture in most cases as the solvent.
A mixture is made up of the solvent and the solute. In an unsaturated mixture the solvent is in greater amount.
By breaking up the solute, the surface area between the solute and solvent is increased, meaning the solute can more easily dissolve into it's components.
solvent: water solute: baking soda
