★ Must-know
📌 The solute is the dissolved chemical species and is often minor or unique, whereas the solvent is the chemical species that is major in the solution.
Further detail
A solution is aqueous when water is the solvent, and the dissolved species are then written with the state symbol (aq).
An aqueous potassium permanganate solution contains the aqueous species K+ (aq) and MnO4− (aq).
Solute is dissolved and usually minor; solvent is the major component.
