Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Kool-Aid powder and sugar are the solutes, and the water is the solvent. The resulting Kool-Aid juice is the solution and when the water cannot dissolve anymore Kool-Aid powder and sugar, no matter how hard one mixes, it is fully saturated.

Detailed explanation-3: -So Kool-Aid powder is a solid, but when you dissolve it in liquid water, the resulting colorful drink is considered a liquid solution.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kool-Aid is mostly sugar, which is heavier than water, so when you pour it in it sinks to the bottom. When you stir it up the sugar (and flavoring) dissolves so that you don’t have any solid particles any more. Stuff that is dissolved in water will not sink because it is no longer a physically separate thing.

Detailed explanation-5: -So, When Sugar is dissolved in water, Sugar is the solute, water is the solvent and sweet water is the solution respectively.
