You dissolve a solute in a solvent
A substance that can dissolve in particular solvent is called a solute. The resulting mixture is called a solution. A general rule is that "like dissolves like." If a solute is polar, it will need a polar solvent to fully dissolve it.
question itself is wrong, chloroform is solute and ccl4 is solvent, solute should dissolve in solvent and solvent cannot dissolve in solute
A solvent cannot dissolve. You can dissolve a solute in a solvent, e.g. you can dissolve sugar in water - sugar is the solute, and water is the solvent. You cannot dissolve water though.
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
It depends on the polarity of the solute and the solvent. If the solute is polar, then it will only dissolve in a polar solvent If the solute in nonpolar, then it will only dissolve in a nonpolar solvent
A liquid that can dissolve things is a solvent. The thing being dissolved is a solute.
Solvent
No; the solute is dissolved in the solvent.
The solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves. The solvent does not itself dissolve because it is (usually) already a liquid. There are special cases. For example, it is possible for a gas to dissolve into a solid, in which case the solvent is a solid. Even then it is still true that the solvent does not itself dissolve. Only the solute dissolves.
It is a solvent liquid. For example, water is a solvent as it can dissolve sugar crystals (and many other things).
Pasta
It a solvent which can dissolve most of the substances.., ex.water
A solvent is a chemical which has the capacity to dissolve a solute. Water is the most commonly used solvent, and it dissolves a lot of things, such as sugar and salt. To dissolve, is for a solid material to become part of a liquid solvent and to thereby lose its solidity, and to mix in.
It is called a solvent, the substance being dissolved is a solute.
