Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the components of a solution: a solution consists of a solvent and a solute.
The solvent is the substance present in the larger amount and acts as the medium in which the other substance dissolves.
The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent, usually present in a smaller amount.
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture where particles are not dissolved but suspended, and a precipitate is a solid that forms and settles out of a solution.
Therefore, the term that describes the substance dissolved in the solvent is the solute.
