Give Two Examples of Solute

A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution. Here are two examples of solutes:

  1. Sugar: When you add sugar to water, the sugar dissolves and becomes the solute, while the water acts as the solvent. The resulting mixture is a sugar solution.
  2. Salt: Similarly, when you add salt to water, the salt dissolves and becomes the solute, with water being the solvent. This creates a saltwater solution.

In both examples, the solute (sugar or salt) is evenly distributed throughout the solvent (water), creating a homogeneous mixture known as a solution.
