A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution. It is usually a solid or a liquid that is added to a solvent, such as water, to create a homogeneous mixture. The amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent depends on factors such as temperature, pressure, and the properties of the solute and solvent. Examples of solutes include salt, sugar, and coffee grounds.
A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution. In a solution, the solute is the component present in a lesser amount, while the solvent is the component present in a greater amount. The solute can be a solid, liquid, or gas, and it can exist in various forms, such as ions, molecules, or particles. When a solute is added to a solvent, it disperses throughout the solvent until it is evenly distributed, resulting in a homogeneous mixture called a solution.
