Answer:

In Katlyn's experiment, the gelatin is the solute and the water is the solvent.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Katlyn's experiment, the gelatin is the solute and the water is the solvent.

A solution is made by mixing up a solvent with a solute. A solute is a substance dissolved in another substance. A solvent is a liquid that dissolves a solid, liquid or gaseous solute.

For this example, the solute (the flavored gelatin powder), when is mixed up with the solvent ( water), the solution is made (the gelatin). Other example can be a salt solution, in which the water is the solvent and the salt is the solute.
