Because when a solute and a solvent are combined, it creates a solution. When two solvents are combined, it just makes a stronger solvent.
Further answer
It also depends on what you are trying to do. Alcohol is a solvent and so is water but if you wanted to have diluite alcohol you'd have to add water to alcohol, or vice versa.
What else can I help you with?
How can you increase the speed in which substance dissolves?
1) increase the solvent's temperature 2) add more solvent 3) stir (have the solvent and solute meet together more instead of letting the solute rest at the bottom of the solvent)
How is massed conserved when adding a solute to a solvent?
If you weigh the solute, and then weigh the solvent, and then add the solute to the solvent and weigh the solution, you will find that the sum of the weights of the solute and solvent is equal to the weight of the resulting solution. So mass is conserved.
What happens when too much of a solute is added to a solvent?
When too much solute is added to a solvent, the solution may become saturated, meaning the solvent can no longer dissolve any more solute. This can result in the formation of a precipitate or un-dissolved solute at the bottom of the container. The excess solute may also remain undissolved or form a separate layer on top of the solvent.
Can every solvent dissolve every solute?
No, not every solvent can dissolve every solute. The ability of a solvent to dissolve a solute depends on the chemical properties of both the solvent and the solute.
In a solution of sugar and water which is the solvent and which is the solute?
In a solution of sugar and water, water is the solvent and sugar is the solute. The solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute, while the solute is the substance that is being dissolved.
What do you add to solvent to make a solution?
To make a solution you add a solute to a solvent.
What do you get when you add a solvent and solute?
Solution
How can you increase the speed in which substance dissolves?
1) increase the solvent's temperature 2) add more solvent 3) stir (have the solvent and solute meet together more instead of letting the solute rest at the bottom of the solvent)
How are solute solvent related?
I shall explain it to you with the aid of an example. If we take some sugar and add it to water, then the solute is sugar and the solvent is water.The solute is always the substance that is dissolved, and the solvent is the liquid in which the solute dissolves.
What is the solvent and solute in the orange juice?
solvent;water solute:pineapple and some dissolved substance
How can you change concentration?
To increase the concentration of a solution, you can decrease the amount of solvent by boiling off, or by evaporation, or you can simply add more solute. Conversely, to decrease the concentration, you can add more solvent.
How is massed conserved when adding a solute to a solvent?
If you weigh the solute, and then weigh the solvent, and then add the solute to the solvent and weigh the solution, you will find that the sum of the weights of the solute and solvent is equal to the weight of the resulting solution. So mass is conserved.
When you add material to a gas or liquid the material you add is called what?
When you add material to a gas or liquid, the material you add is called a solute. In the context of solutions, the solute is dissolved in the solvent, which is the liquid or gas that does the dissolving. In general, the combined result of the solute and solvent forms a homogeneous mixture.
How are solution and solvent related?
I shall explain it to you with the aid of an example. If we take some sugar and add it to water, then the solute is sugar and the solvent is water.The solute is always the substance that is dissolved, and the solvent is the liquid in which the solute dissolves.
What happens when too much of a solute is added to a solvent?
When too much solute is added to a solvent, the solution may become saturated, meaning the solvent can no longer dissolve any more solute. This can result in the formation of a precipitate or un-dissolved solute at the bottom of the container. The excess solute may also remain undissolved or form a separate layer on top of the solvent.
How do you make dilute solution more concentrated?
You add more solvent.
Should add the solute to the solvent or add the solvent to the solute?
Generally, it is recommended to add the solute to the solvent rather than the other way around. This approach helps ensure better dissolution and reduces the risk of localized high concentrations of solute, which can cause clumping or incomplete mixing. Additionally, adding the solute to the solvent allows for better control over the solubility and reaction process. Always follow specific instructions for particular substances, as some cases may vary.
