What is solute?

Back

A substance that is dissolved in a solution.

Front

What is solvent?

Back

A substance that dissolves a solute to form a solution.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and the rate of dissolution?

Back

Generally, increasing temperature increases the rate of dissolution.
