No, a solute cannot be bigger than a solvent. A solvent is the substance in which a solute is dissolved, and the size of the solute must be smaller than that of the solvent molecules to form a homogeneous mixture.
A solution consists of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent. The solute is the substance that dissolves and the solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute. Take salt water as an example. The salt is the solute and the water is the solvent.
The solvent dissolves the solute. (The solute dissolves in the solvent.)
For a solute to dissolve in a particular solvent, the intermolecular forces between the solute and solvent particles must be stronger than the forces holding the solute particles together. This allows the solute molecules to separate and become surrounded by solvent molecules, forming a homogenous mixture. Temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute-solvent interactions also play a role in determining solubility.
Not necessarily. In a solution, the solute can make the solution heavier compared to the solvent alone. However, the overall weight of the solution would depend on the concentration of the solute in the solvent.
1. A solvent and a solute are both parts of a solution.2. The solvent is mostly in majority and, it dissolves a solute in itself to make a solution.
Yes because the solute gets dissolved when put in the solvent
A solution consists of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent. The solute is the substance that dissolves and the solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute. Take salt water as an example. The salt is the solute and the water is the solvent.
the solvent is the water; while the solute is the sugar
The size of the solute particles is generally smaller than the size of the solvent particles.
The solute wont get dissolved completely since the solvent (i assume) is less than that of solute. and therefore after the saturation of the solvent a significant amount of solute will remain behind. an incomplete reaction takes place with your condition of mixing.

It is called a solute, which is dissolved in a solvent
For a solute to dissolve in a particular solvent, the intermolecular forces between the solute and solvent particles must be stronger than the forces holding the solute particles together. This allows the solute molecules to separate and become surrounded by solvent molecules, forming a homogenous mixture. Temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute-solvent interactions also play a role in determining solubility.
The solvent of sea water is obviously water and the solute is salt...
Not necessarily. In a solution, the solute can make the solution heavier compared to the solvent alone. However, the overall weight of the solution would depend on the concentration of the solute in the solvent.
