Solvent and solute. The solute is the substance added that makes the solution what it is (for example, solid table salt), while the solvent is the liquid to which the solute is added (for example, water or an alcohol). The majority of solutions we encounter regularly are aqueous, meaning that the solvent is water. In aqueous solutions, if the solute is a salt, the salt will dissociate into its ions, with water molecules separating them from each other.
