If 10 grams of salt are dissolved in 100 mL of water, which component is the solute?
Salt only
In a solution:
- Solute = the substance that is dissolved (present in smaller quantity) → Salt
- Solvent = the substance that does the dissolving (present in larger quantity) → Water
- Solution = the homogeneous mixture formed (salt water)
Here, 10 g of salt is dissolved in 100 mL of water → salt is the solute.
