Understand the components of a solution: a solution consists of two main parts—the substance that dissolves (called the solute) and the substance that does the dissolving (called the solvent).
Identify the term for the substance being dissolved: in solubility rules and general chemistry, the solid or liquid that dissolves into another substance is known as the solute.
Recognize the solvent: this is typically the liquid in which the solute dissolves, often water in aqueous solutions.
Differentiate from other terms: an electrolyte is a substance that produces ions in solution, and a precipitate is an insoluble solid formed in a reaction, neither of which describe the dissolved substance itself.
Conclude that the correct term for the solid or liquid being dissolved in a solution is 'solute'.
