(a) solute = substance (solid or liquid) in lesser amount, which will [dis]solve into the solvent
(b) solvent = substance (liquid) in larger amount, which [dis]solves the solvent
it's dissolvability is called "solvency"
water is known as the universal solvent because it is abundant on Earth and has a high solvency
(c) solution = the combination of solvent + solute
depending on the saturation of solute within solvent, the solution may appear clear, like the solvent
**think of warm sugar-water (solution), when all the sugar (solute) dissolves into the water (solvent), the solute seems to have disappeared
No because Antarctica is ice
Just changed and transferred
No, and the environment also adds on to influencing traits.
Hope this helps. If not, I apologize.
