A solute is the substance that is dissolved in a solution. A solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves. For example, salt water contains the solute salt and the solvent water, and the salt dissolves in the water.

∙ 13y agoA solution is formed when a substance is dissolved in another. The substance present in a greater quantity is called the solvent. The other substance, i.e the one which is present in a lesser quantity is called a solute.

∙ 14y agoThe solute dissolves into the solvent. For example, salt (NaCl) is a solute, and water is a solvent. Often solvents are liquids, and you usually have more solvent than solute in a solution.
A good way to remember the difference between the two is that water is known as the universal solvent.

Would Solubility tell you how fast a solute will dissolve true or false?
solubility is a measurement that describes how much solute dissolves in a given amount of the solvent.
Two basic parts of a solution?
The solute and the solvent...you can tell them apart because thesolute is: in a solution a substance that is dissolved in a solvent andthe solvent is, in a solution the substance that dissolves a solute and makes up the largest percentage of a solution.
What is the solvent and solute of coffee?
The solvent is water; the solute is ground roasted coffee beans (in addition to sugar, salt, cream and whatever else you prefer to add)!
What is the difference between molarity and moles per liter of solvent?
Molarity has to deal with the concentration of solute in a concentration, and Moles per liter of the solvent is the concentration of solvent.
Describe how you can tell the difference between an unsaturated solution and a saturated solution?
The easiest way to determine if the solution is saturated or not is not really very 'scientific.' Remove a sample and, drop a bit of the solute into it. If the additional solute dissolves, the solution is not saturated. If it does not, the solution is saturated.
What are two parts of solute?
The solute and the solvent...you can tell them apart because thesolute is: in a solution a substance that is dissolved in a solvent andthe solvent is, in a solution the substance that dissolves a solute and makes up the largest percentage of a solution.

How can you tell the difference between solvent sealer and water based sealer?
The can's label should tell you plainly.
What is the solute and solvent of soda if you add salt?
When you mix soda and salt the solute and the solvent would be a variety of things. The best answer i could tell you is that the solute would be the carbonated water and the solvent would be the salt. Or it is the other way around.
What is the solvent and solute of coffee?
The solvent is water; the solute is ground roasted coffee beans (in addition to sugar, salt, cream and whatever else you prefer to add)!
What is the salt water solution of a solute?
Salt is the solute. Water is the solvent. Salt water is the solution. This solution is sometimes called a saline solution.
What is the solute and solvent of maple syrup?
the solute is water and sugar and solvent is sap
How can you tell its a solution and not a mixture?
when one of the substance is dissolved in other substance, the one which dissolves is called solute and the other is called solvent. usually the solute molecules are surrounded by the solvent molecules, and are not mechanically separable, there exist an intermolecular bond. and an energy equivalent to it is given out. in this case it is called solution and not the mixture.

What are three common solutes?
Solvent is what the solute is dissolved in.We usually think of the solvent as being a liquid like water, alcohol or petrol / gasoline. However, the solvent could be a gas or even a solid eg mineral deposits can dissolve through rock under pressure and time.Solute is what dissolves.Sugar dissolving in water would be the solute, sugar dissolving in the solvent, water.Solution is the resultant solute/solvent mix.When making a one litre (1 dm3) solution, the solute is dissolved in a small amount of solvent and then solvent is added to make the solution up to 1 litre.Solubles is not a term used so much in solution chemistry. There are, however, Solubility Tables that tell the chemist which salts are soluble in water and which are not. Soluble salts dissolve more than 10 g / 100 mL; moderately soluble salts dissolve less than 10 g/100 mL and insoluble salts dissolve less than 1 g/ 100 mL at room temperature.
