One is going to be the solvent and one will be the solute, they can't be both at the same time. You usually put sugar into something such as water or tea or soda. That makes the sugar the solute (goes into) and the other, like water, the is the solvent. A good way to remember this is that the solvent is the part of a solution present in the largest amount.

Compare and contrast solute and solvent?
Solutes and solvents are the two parts of a solution. In short, the solvent is the material in greater quantity, and the solute is in lesser.The idea is that neither compound will react with the other, but that the solvent will dissolve the solute. In order for this to happen, they must be of like properties: organic solvents for organic solutes, and polar solvents for polar solutes.ExamplesSolvents: water (polar, inorganic); ethanol (polar, organic); heptane (nonpolar, organic)Solutes: Salts (e.g. NaCl; KBr); usually whatever product you are forming in a reaction
Which two processes are at equilibrium in a saturated sugar solution?
Dissolving and precipitating the solute in solvent.
When sugar is dissolved in water is it solute or solvent?
The sugar is the solute and the water is the solvent. Whatever is dissolved is the solute, and whatever the solute is dissolved in is the solvent. The solvent dissolves the solute.
Examples of 5 solutes and the solvents they dissolve in?
i had this for homework here's what i got::: nail polish (solute) acetone (solvent) glue (solute) acetone (solvent) eggshells (solute) vinegar (solvent) [i bet u didn't know that one!!} iodine (solute) hexane (solvent) chromium (solute) hydrochloric acid (solvent
What is the process of dissolving called?
I think you mean solvent. A substance that dissolves another substance is called the solvent. Water is a solvent for sugar and salt, for example. The stuff that is dissolved in the solvent is called the solute.
What are the solutes and solvents in sugar water?
The solvent is what does the dissolving, therefore the water. The solute is what is being dissolved, which in this case is the sugar.
What is the substance that does the dissolving solute and solvent becoming evenly mixed?
okay let's say your putting sugar into coffee the solute is the sugar and solvent is the coffee. The Solvent coffee dissolves the solute "sugar" homogeneously amongst the solution. So the answer to your question is the solvent does the dissolving
What do solvents have to do with solvents?
a solvent is a liquid that dissolved a solute and a solute is a material that is like sugar and salt and other things like that
What happens sugar in tea?
When you add sugar (solute) into the tea (solvent) it mixes together to make a solution (when a solute/sugar, mixes into a solvent/tea.)The particles in the tea will start breaking up the sugar molecules. This is called dissolving, that is when a solute will mixes and disappear into a solvent.
Is graffiti remover a solvent solute or solution?
A solute is something you are dissolving. The solution is the combination of the solvent and solute. Take a glass of water. You put some sugar (solute) into it. Since sugar dissolves in water it is the solute, and the solvent is the water. The solution is the water with the dissolved sugar in it. Graffiti remover dissolves and removes graffiti. Therefore the graffiti is the solute and the remover is the solvent.
Why is Sugar dissolving in water a chemical property of sugar?
It is a (highly) polar solvent.
If sugar is dissolved in water which component will be the solute and which will be the solvent?
Water is the solvent, and sugar is the solute.
What is the difference between solvent and solution?
The solvent in a solution is dissolving the solute. A solution is groups of molecules that are mixed in a completely even distribution. Basically a solute dissolved in a solvent. An example of a solvent would be water and a solute could be sugar. The sugar would dissolve in the water which would be a solution.
What is aqueous solvent?
The aqueous solvent is water in a solution. An aqueous solution is a mixture that consists of the solvent water and a substance called a solute. For example, by dissolving the solute sugar in water, you get an aqueous solution.

What does dissolving a solute and filtering a solution do?
Dissolving is a familiar process. Salt, for example, dissolves readily in water, as does sugar in coffee. On a molecular level, dissolving consists of the molecules of a solute -- salt or sugar -- encountering and pairing up with the molecules of a solvent -- water or coffee. Only when a successful pairing is made can the solute dissolve into the solvent. To increase the rate at which a solute dissolves, you must increase the rate at which molecules within the solute can encounter and subsequently pair with molecules within the solvent.
Which two processes are at equilibrium in a saturated sugar solution?
Dissolving and precipitating the solute in solvent.
