Yes, a solute can be any of those phases. Here's an example:

salt (NaCl) is a solid that dissolves in water;

ethanol is a liquid that dissolves in water;

carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas that dissolves in water.

therefore any substance (water in this case )that can let anything disolve in it is a solute

What is the solute-solvent combinations?

Some solute-solvent combinations are: example (solute state-solvent state) oxygen in nitrogen (gas-gas) carbon dioxide in water (gas-liquid) water vapor in air (liquid-gas) alcohol in water (liquid-liquid) mercury in silver and tin, dental amalgam (liquid-solid) sugar in water (solid-liquid) copper in nickel (MonelTM alloy) (solid-solid)


Is a solute a solid liquid or gas?

An alcohol solution is obtained when alcohol is dissolved in water (or in any other organic liquid solvents). So the alcohol solution is liquid.


Why can a solution be made by a solid liquid and a gas?

A solution can be made with a solid, liquid, and gas because the solute from the solid and gas can dissolve in the liquid solvent to form a homogeneous mixture. The individual particles of the solid and gas mix with the liquid molecules, allowing for the creation of a solution.


What do we call the solid being added to the liquid?

The solid being added to the liquid is called a solute. When the solute is dissolved in the liquid, it forms a solution.


What are the classification of solutions according to phases?

Solutions can be classified into three categories based on phases: Gas-gas solutions: Solutions where both the solute and solvent are in the gas phase, such as air. Liquid-liquid solutions: Solutions where both the solute and solvent are in the liquid phase, such as sugar dissolved in water. Solid-liquid solutions: Solutions where the solute is a solid and the solvent is a liquid, such as salt dissolved in water.

Is solute always in a solid form?

A solute can be any phase, solid, liquid, or gas. The term solute means something that is dissolved in a solvent. There are a wide range of substances, in various phases, which are capable of being dissolved in various solvents.


Is a solution just a solid dissolved in a liquid?

No, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent. The solute can be a solid, liquid, or gas, and the solvent is typically a liquid, but can also be a gas or solid.

Is a solute always solid give example from daily life?

No, a solute is not always solid; it can also be a liquid or gas. For example, in a sugar solution, sugar acts as a solid solute dissolved in water, which is a liquid solvent. Another example is carbon dioxide, which can dissolve in water to form carbonated beverages, where the gas is the solute.
