When the smaller amount component dissolves in the larger amount component, what is the smaller amount component usually called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Solute
The substance that dissolves in a solution is called the solute. In many ordinary solutions, it is present in the smaller amount, while the larger amount component provides the medium and is called the solvent. This is a usual rule, not an absolute one in every special case; sediment and alloy do not name the dissolving component.
