Solute - solute

In a solution, the part with the smallest amount (number of molecules) is called the solute, and the part with the largest amount is called the solvent. It can be a gas, liquid, or solid. Usually, the "thing that is dissolved" is the solute, and the "thing that is being dissolved" is the solvent. In sugar water, the sugar is the solute and the water is the solvent.

Japanese:

溶体(溶液)のうちで、分量(分子数)の少ないほうを溶質、多いほうを溶媒という。気体、液体、固体のいずれでもかまわない。普通には、「溶けているもの」が溶質、「溶かしているもの」が溶媒である。砂糖水なら、砂糖が溶質、水が溶媒ということになる。
