It depends on what you are trying to do. The solvent (can be liguid, solid or gas) is whatever dissolves another substance, the solute. If I have a heated vat of lard (melted) and want to dissolve it in some salt, then salt is the solute and the fat is the solvent. If I then pour in some vegetable fat that would be a second solute. So I would have a mixture of lard (animal fat- solvent), salt (a solute) and vegetable fat (a solute). It all depends on how the fat is being used at the time. If you are dissolving something into it; it is a solvent. If it is being dissolved into something; it is a solute.
What else can I help you with?
What are the characteristics of a solute?
A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution. It can be in solid, liquid, or gas form. Solute particles are generally smaller in size compared to solvent particles.
What is the main food substance in butter?
The main food component in butter is (milk) fat, 85-88%, some proteines and about 10% water.
What makes butter melt faster than any other kind of butter?
Butter with a higher fat content tends to melt faster than butter with lower fat content because fat melts at a lower temperature than other components in butter like water or milk solids. Higher fat content butter has a lower melting point, which allows it to melt more quickly when exposed to heat.
Will butter dissolve in acetone?
I don't think it is but again i am only 14 so any help would be great thanks :-) You are correct- butter is made from milk fat. Fats are not soluble in water.
When butter is melted does some disappear?
When butter is melted, some of its water content evaporates as steam. This can cause the overall volume of the butter to decrease slightly, but the actual amount of butter (fat content) remains the same.
Is butter a solute or a solvent?
Butter is actually a solution; the solvent is a solid which is fat and the solute is a liquid which is water.

What are examples of liquid solute and a solid solvent?
a liquid solid in a solid is example of an important collodial system called solid emulsion or gel. butter is one where liquid is water and solid is fat, oher eg: flesh
What are examples of a solvent solute and solution?
a liquid solid in a solid is example of an important collodial system called solid emulsion or gel. butter is one where liquid is water and solid is fat, oher eg: flesh
What are some examples of a solid solute and a liquid solvent?
a solvent has a greater amount than a solute..
Will butter dissolve in chloroform?
No, butter will not dissolve in chloroform because chloroform is not a good solvent for non-polar compounds like fats and oils. Butter is mostly composed of fat and water, neither of which are soluble in chloroform.
What are the characteristics of a solute?
A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution. It can be in solid, liquid, or gas form. Solute particles are generally smaller in size compared to solvent particles.
Why is emulsifiers in butter?
Butter is a water-in-fat emulsion.
Why does butter melt?
Butter is a water-in-fat emulsion, when it heats up the fat melts.
Why does peanut butter dissolve better with milk than water or tea?
Peanut butter is a fat-based product, and fat dissolves better in milk rather than water or tea which are primarily water-based. The fat in peanut butter can emulsify better with the proteins in milk, creating a smoother texture compared to water or tea. Additionally, the flavor of peanut butter complements the creamy taste of milk better than the taste of water or tea.
