... The solute is sugar or the tea mix, the solvent is the water.
A hot tea is a solution of tea extact and sugar in water; tea extact and sugar are the solutes, water is the solvent.Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid (solute) in water (solvent).
A solute is a substance that dissovles, and a solvent is the substance that does the dissolving. For example; water is a prime example of a solvent, and any powdered drink mix (ie, gatorade, ice tea, lemonade, etc) are solutes. Solute + Solvent = a Solution.
The solvent dissolves the solute. (The solute dissolves in the solvent.)
Water is the solvent, and sugar is the solute.
A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution. The solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute, while the solution is the homogeneous mixture formed by the solvent and solute.
solute = tea solvent = water or the other way around i forget
Well, I believe that in referring to placing sugar in iced tea, tea is the solvent, and sugar the solute. Technically, however, the question is flawed, as tea can be a solute as well, with water as the solvent and the organic compounds released from steeping the tea leaves the solute.
Tea is a solute when it is dissolved in water to make a tea solution. The water acts as the solvent, dissolving the tea leaves to create the beverage.
When you add sugar (solute) into the tea (solvent) it mixes together to make a solution (when a solute/sugar, mixes into a solvent/tea.)The particles in the tea will start breaking up the sugar molecules. This is called dissolving, that is when a solute will mixes and disappear into a solvent.
The solution is what is formed when a solute is dissolved into a solvent. In this case, the solute would be sugar, and the solvent is the tea. So to answer you question, neither. Solute-substance that dissolves into a solvent Solvent-substances that dissolves a solute. **HOPE THIS HELPS :)**
A solute is the solid which dissolves in the liquid. And the solvent is the liquid. Ex: For tea, the water is the solvent and the caffeine is the solute. Therefore, when the solute and solvent are put together it becomes a solution.

Sugar or water is the Solvent in Sweet Tea. The solvent is the substance that exists in the greatest quantity of a solution, so I think it's definitely sugar or water not sure though.
I am not sure of the exact make up of coffee, however in a simplistic view, coffee would be solute, water would be solvent. However, you can say more scientifically anyway that caffeine is solute. If you take sugar, sugar is also a solute.
water is the solvent, coffee is the solute
