What is the difference between a solute and a solvent?
Interpretation:
The difference between a solute and a solvent has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The solution is a homogeneous mixture of two components. One of them is the solute and the other is the solvent. The solvent is present usually in higher proportion than the solute in the solution.
Solute: The component which is dissolved to make a solution is called solute.
Solvent: The component in which the other component is dissolved is called solvent.
Answer to Problem 55A
The component which is dissolved to make a solution is called solute. The component in which the other component is dissolved is called solvent. The solvent is present usually in higher proportion whereas the solute is present usually in lesser proportion in the solution.
The component which is dissolved to make a solution is called solute. The component in which the other component is dissolved is called solvent. The solvent is present usually in higher proportion whereas the solute is present usually in lesser proportion in the solution.
Explanation of Solution
The component which is dissolved to make a solution is called solute. The component in which the other component is dissolved is called solvent. The solvent is present usually in higher proportion whereas the solute is present usually in lesser proportion in the solution.
