  • Understanding Solutions: Solutes, Solvents, and How They Combine
    When a dissolved solid and liquid are combined, they create a solution.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Solid: The substance that dissolves, often referred to as the solute.

    * Liquid: The substance that the solid dissolves into, often referred to as the solvent.

    The resulting mixture is a homogeneous solution, meaning the solute is evenly distributed throughout the solvent.

    Example:

    * Salt (solid) dissolved in water (liquid) = Saltwater solution
