Peanut butter is a homogeneous suspension of peanut particles in an oil. More of a sludge or paste than a solvent/solute system. There are some dissolved flavour compounds in the oil (oil=solvent) and probably some salts or sugar dissolved in the water present in the nut particles (water=solvent)
Aside: The oil in peanut butter is often not peanut oil. Peanut oil is a valuable side product and is stripped away and replaced with cheaper vegetable oils
Butter is actually a solution; the solvent is a solid which is fat and the solute is a liquid which is water.

Butter is a water in oil emulsion.
In chocolate, the solute is the cocoa solids and sugar, while the solvent is the cocoa butter. When chocolate is melted, the cocoa butter acts as the solvent, dissolving the cocoa solids and sugar to form a uniform mixture.
no, its a compound ANS2: It could be a solute or it could be a solvent. You will need to determine if it is being dissolved (solute) into something or is having something dissolved into it (solvent). The rule is: that which is in greater concentration is the solvent. If it is a 50:50 mixture there is no need to fuss about the distinction.
The solvent dissolves the solute. (The solute dissolves in the solvent.)
The solvent dissolves the solute. (The solute dissolves in the solvent.)
Pls answer this
The solute becomes dissolved in the solvent, while the solvent dissolves the solute.
A solvent and a solute.
