  • Understanding Solutions: Solute, Solvent, and Formation
    The mixture that forms when one substance dissolves in another is called a solution.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Solute: The substance that dissolves (e.g., sugar).

    * Solvent: The substance that does the dissolving (e.g., water).

    * Solution: The homogeneous mixture that results from the solute dissolving in the solvent.

    For example, when you add sugar to water and stir, the sugar dissolves, forming a sugar solution. The sugar is the solute, water is the solvent, and the resulting mixture is the solution.
