The relative amount of solute dissolved in the solvent determines whether a solution is dilute, concentrated, or saturated.
Yes, the roles of solvent and solute can vary depending on the specific components and concentrations involved in different solutions. In some cases, what acts as a solvent in one solution may be a solute in another.
The solvent determines the physical state of the solution (liquid, solid, or gas) and often plays a significant role in the solution’s properties and behavior.
The solute is the component of a solution that is dissolved in the solvent and is typically present in lesser quantity than the solvent.
