Explanation:
A solution consists of two type of substances. These are solute and solvent.
A solvent is defined as the substance present in lesser amount as compared to a solvent. A solute is able to dissolve in a solvent.
For example, sugar dissolves in water. Here, sugar is the solute and water is the solvent.
Combination of both solute and solvent results in the formation of a solution.
Whereas a solvent is a substance that is present in more quantity as compared to a solute.
Thus, we can conclude that the component which dissolves in a solution is called the solute.
