Understand the terminology used in solutions: a solution consists of two main components—the solute and the solvent.
The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solution, meaning it is dispersed uniformly at the molecular or ionic level.
The solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute, usually present in a larger amount.
A precipitate is a solid that forms and separates out from a solution, which is different from a solute.
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture where particles are dispersed but not dissolved, unlike a true solution.
