A solute is the solid that is dissolved in a liquid. The solvent is the liquid in which something is dissolved in. For example, with salt water, the Na and Cl are the two solutes, and the H2O is the solvent. Also They Both Make A Solution. For example, to make a solution out of saltwater, you would take salt, which would be your solute, and water, which would be your solvent.

To be more precise, a solvent is what does the dissolving and the solute is what is being dissolved. the answer above is not incorrect per se, just not all inclusive. an example not described by the previous answer is that of carbon dioxide dissolving in water. therefore, the solute does not have to be a solid. further the solvent doesnt have to be liquid. the solvent can be a liquid or a gas and the solute can be a solid, liquid, or gas.
