What is the main difference between solute and solvent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Solute dissolves; solvent dissolves it.

The governing concept is the composition of a solution. The solute is the substance that gets dissolved, while the solvent is the component that dissolves it and usually forms the larger part of the solution. For example, when salt is mixed with water, salt is the solute and water is the solvent; together they form salt solution. The solvent need not always be water, liquid, or even the larger component in every special case, so options B and C use absolute and incorrect claims. Option D is also false because solutes and solvents may be solids, liquids, or gases, and they are not necessarily metals. Therefore, option A correctly states the essential distinction.
