  • Understanding Solution Formation: Solute, Solvent, and Solutions
    That's a bit of a trick question! It sounds like you're mixing up the terms a little. Here's the breakdown:

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

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

    When a solute dissolves in a solvent, it forms a solution.

    Think of it this way:

    * Sugar (solute) + Water (solvent) = Sugar water (solution)
