Difference Between Solute and Solvent | Chemistry

This lecture is about the difference between solute and solvent in chemistry.

Q: What is solute?
Ans: Solute is defined as "A substance that is dissolved in the solvent to form a solution is called a solute". For example, when you dissolve sugar in the water, you form a sugar solution. In this solution, sugar is a solute.

Q: What is solvent?
Ans: Solvent is defined as "A substance that dissolve the solute to form a solution is called a solvent". For example, when you dissolve sugar in the water, you form a sugar solution. In this solution, water is a solvent.

Q: What is the difference between solute and solvent?
Ans:
1) Solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution.
Solvent is a substance that dissolves the Solute to form a solution.

2) The quantity of a solute is less than a solvent in a solution.
The quantity of solvent is more than a solute in a solution.

3) Solute might exists in solid, liquid or gaseous state.
Solvent usually exists in liquid state.

4) solute has high boiling point than solvent. Solvent has low boiling point than solute.

5) In a solution, heat is transferred to a solute.
In a solution, heat is transferred from the solvent.
