A substance dissolved in another substance (the solvent).
A solid substance which is dissolved in a solvent to make a solution.
The substance that is dissolved in a solution.
Solutes are solid substances that are dissolved in a liquid to form a solution. When introduced into a solvent, such as water, solutes disperse and merge with the liquid on a molecular level, creating a homogeneous mixture. This dissolution process enables the solute particles to become uniformly distributed throughout the solvent, resulting in a well-blended solution. The solute can vary in nature and composition, ranging from salts and sugars to gases and organic compounds.
