Salt is the solute. Water is the solvent. Salt water is the solution. This solution is sometimes called a saline solution.
No, salt is the solute and water is the solvent
Solute, because it is the minor component in the solution and it is what dissolves in the solvent. For example: Salt Water - The salt is the solute that dissoles in the solvent, which is water.
The solvent is water, the solute is salt; solvent and solute form a solution.
In a salt solution, the salt is the solute and the substance in which the salt dissolves is the solvent. For example, in a saltwater solution, salt (sodium chloride) is the solute and water is the solvent.
Salt is the solute (the substance being dissolved) and water is the solvent (the substance doing the dissolving.
To prepare a salt solution, dissolve the salt (solute) in water (solvent). The salt will fully dissolve in the water, creating a homogenous solution. The resulting liquid is now a salt solution, where the water is the solvent and the salt is the solute.
the salt is the solute

Dissolving is not the same thing as melting. When you dissolve salt in water, for example, neither the salt nor the water melts. In the example of salt in water, salt is the solute and water is the solvent. The salt (which is the solute) is what dissolves (but does not melt).
Water would be the solvent in this case.
The salt is the solute and the water is the solvent. Water is the solvent because it is what dissolves the solid salt into the solution. The water molecules pull apart the crystal structure of salt and surround the salt ions.
When salt dissolves in water, the salt is the solute, and the solvent is the water. Whenever you have a solution, the substance that is being dissolved is the solute, the substance that it is being dissolved in is the solvent.
