Detailed explanation-1: -In a solution, the substance which is dissolved is called a solute and the substance in which the solute is dissolved is called a solvent. To obtain salt solution, salt is mixed in water and hence salt is the solute and water is the solvent.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is considered a solute? A solute is typically a solid dissolved into a liquid. Salt is the solute that dissolves to form a saline solution in water, the solvent. On the other hand, water vapour is considered an air solute because nitrogen and oxygen are present in the gas at much higher levels of concentration.
