SOLUTE
A solute is a substance that dissolves in a solvent. Like salt (solute) dissolving in water (solvent). The two together make up a solution.
When solutes (substances dissolved in a solution) are mixed with a solvent (the substance in which the solutes dissolve), the solutes disperse evenly throughout the solvent due to Brownian motion and intermolecular interactions. This results in the formation of a homogenous mixture called a solution. The solutes remain dispersed in the solvent unless a physical or chemical change occurs.
Common solutes that can dissolve in kerosene include oil-based substances such as grease, wax, and certain organic compounds. Inorganic salts and polar molecules, which are more water-soluble, do not dissolve well in kerosene due to its nonpolar nature.
Solutions are mixtures of solutes (substances being dissolved) in solvents (substances doing the dissolving). Solutes dissolve in solvents to form a homogeneous mixture where solutes are uniformly distributed in the solvent. The amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent is determined by factors like temperature and pressure.
In the air, oxygen and nitrogen are considered solutes, while the solvent is mostly composed of gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Oxygen and nitrogen are the major components of air, making them the solutes in this mixture.
Solutes are substances dissolved in a solvent.
give an example of a solution that has 1 solvent and 2 solutes.

No. Kerosene is an organic compound. and water is a non-organic compound. (kerosene : non-polar Water : polar). As water is a polar solvent kerosene is not soluble in it. but kerosene is soluble in ethyl alcohol which is a non-polar solvent.
Solutes lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of a solvent! :)
Acetone is a good solvent for both polar and nonpolar solutes due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with polar solutes and dissolve nonpolar solutes through dispersion forces.
In coffee, solutes refer to the substances that dissolve in water, such as soluble coffee compounds, sugars, and acids. Water acts as the solvent, which is the substance in which solutes dissolve. So, in coffee, water is the solvent and the solutes include the coffee compounds, sugars, and acids.
stir it in a solvent

The solutes in Gatorade are electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium, as well as sugars like sucrose and glucose. The solvent in Gatorade is water, which dissolves the solutes to create the final beverage.
A solution contains one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent.
