Is Matter Around Us Pure?

Question:

What is meant by solute and solvent?

Answer:

A solution is obtained when a substance is dissolved in another substance. The substance which is dissolved to obtain a solution is called solute, whereas the substance in which the solute is dissolved is called solvent. For example when sugar is dissolved in water to obtain sugar solution, sugar is the solute and water is solvent.
