Here's how it works:
* Solute: The substance that gets dissolved.
* Solvent: The substance that does the dissolving.
* Solution: The homogeneous mixture formed when the solute dissolves in the solvent.
For example:
* When you add sugar (solute) to water (solvent), the sugar dissolves and you get a sugar solution.
* When you add salt (solute) to water (solvent), the salt dissolves and you get a salt solution.
The solvent is usually present in a larger amount than the solute.
