Paraffin (candle) wax is soluble in any kind of hydrocarbon-based paint
thinner such as mineral spirits or xylene.
To make a solution you add a solute to a solvent.
The solute is what is being dissolved. The solvent is what the solute is dissolved in. Take coffee for example. The solute would be the coffee, and the water would be the solvent. In fact, water is able to dissolve so many substances that it's called the universal solvent.
A solution is a mixture where a solute is dissolved in a solvent. The solute is the substance that is dissolved, while the solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute. In other words, the solvent is the substance present in a larger amount in a solution.
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.
A solute and solvent make up a solution. The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent to form the solution. The solvent is the substance in which the solute is dissolved.
To make a solution you add a solute to a solvent.
Sodium chloride is a solute when is dissolved in water (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.
A solvent and a solute make a solution. For example common salt and water form a solution. Here water is solvent and common salt is solute.
Solute dissolves in solvent to form solution.
Adding solvent will make a solution more diluted. Think of it this way. Take water (solvent) and dissolve salt into it (solute). In order to dilute or increase the ratio of solvent to solute, you would add more water.
The solute is what is being dissolved. The solvent is what the solute is dissolved in. Take coffee for example. The solute would be the coffee, and the water would be the solvent. In fact, water is able to dissolve so many substances that it's called the universal solvent.
