Detailed explanation-1: -Kool-Aid powder and sugar are the solutes, and the water is the solvent.
Detailed explanation-2: -The solvent is the substance that does the dissolving. In our Kool-aid, water is the solvent, it dissolves the sugar and Kool-aid powder. The solute is/are the substance(s) being dissolved.
Detailed explanation-3: -If you left them there without stirring, and came back a few days later, you wouldn’t see any crystals on the bottom. That’s because the stuff in kool-aid can DISSOLVE in water, which means that each little molecule of kool-aid gets suspended between the molecules of water.
Detailed explanation-4: -The most common solvent in our everyday life is water. Some examples of solutions are Kool-Aid, cranberry juice, vodka and saline solution. Solutions are typically clear (although they may be colored) and homogeneous (all the same).
Detailed explanation-5: -Kool-Aid is usually purchased as a powder, and then dissolved in water. This means it is a “solution.” A solution is a liquid (usually water) that has other things dissolved in it (like sugar or salt.) In fact, most beverages are solutions!
