Answer 2

Answer:

Solute is a substance which is dissolved in solvent to make solution

Explanation:

Now, point here to understand is, how can we differentiate solute from a solvent. Important thing to remember is, solute is in lesser quantity in liquid solutions.

Now solute is dissolves in solvent to make solution. In our daily life, there are many examples of solute. Like, sugar in tea is solute and liquid tea is solvent, salt in water is a solute and water acts as solvent.

Now notice that there is a particular quantity of substance in a solvent acts as a solute. Molarity is one of the ways to express concentration of solute and represent as M which is moles. Now molarity is used to determine both quantity of solvent or concentration of solute.

Molarity = Number of moles of solute/Liters of solution
