Answer: The substance which is dissolved in a solution is called solute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution is made up two parts:

1) Solute : The substance which is dissolves in a solvent to give a solution.

  • It is always present in less amount.

2) Solvent : The liquid substance in which solute is dissolved is known as solvent.

  • It is always present in large amount.

Solution = Solute + Solvent

For example : Salt as solute and water as solvent in salt solution.
