  • Solute: Understanding Substances That Dissolve in Solutions
    The names of substances that dissolve in a solution are called solutes.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Solution: A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.

    * Solvent: The substance that dissolves the solute. It is usually present in a larger amount.

    * Solute: The substance that gets dissolved in the solvent. It is usually present in a smaller amount.

    For example, in a sugar solution, sugar is the solute and water is the solvent.
