solute

solvent

solution

solution and solvent

Answer 1

When sweat evaporates from your skin, the salts left behind on your skin represent a solute. Because a sweat is a solution and in the solution, the solute particles are the salt. The rest of the choices do not answer the question above.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option solute

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution is formed when solute is dissolved in solvent. The amount of solute present in the solution remains lesser than that of the solvent.

Solution = Solvent + Solute

Human sweat itself is a solution in which water serves as solvent ans salt serves as solute.

So, when sweat evaporates from our skin, salt left behinds represents solute which is dissolved `in water.
