Anything that has mass and volume (takes up space) is called matter.
The answers would be:
In a solution, the solvent is present in a greater amount.
In a solutions, the solute dissolves in a solvent.
In general, these are the best answers. The solute is what is being dissolved and the solvent is what dissolves. A solvent comes in greater amounts in a solution and it is the dissolving agent.
For example, sugar and water.
To make a sugar water solution, you will need to dissolve sugar in water. Sugar is the solute in this case because it is what is being dissolved. The water is the solvent, because it dissolves the sugar.
If you had more sugar than water, then you cannot make a solution.
The magnesium dissolves to form magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas is released.
Mg + 2HCl -----> MgCl2 + H2(g).
