Welcome to MooMooMath and Science.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:09,160
In this video I would like to talk about the difference between a solvent, solute, and

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:10,919
a solution.

4
00:00:10,919 --> 00:00:14,179
Up first let's talk about what the solvent is.

5
00:00:14,179 --> 00:00:18,640
This is the substance that is doing the dissolving.

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,519
A solute is the substance to be dissolved.

7
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:29,199
And the solution is the solute plus the solvent.

8
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:34,020
Let's look at a couple examples and see if we can't make it easy to understand.

9
00:00:34,020 --> 00:00:36,299
First we have coffee.

10
00:00:36,299 --> 00:00:39,600
The solvent is the water.

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:47,280
The solute is the soluble portions of the coffee, the sugar that you can stir in, and

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,380
then the cream.

13
00:00:49,380 --> 00:00:51,979
Next you have a cup of tea.

14
00:00:51,979 --> 00:00:54,600
The solvent is the water.

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:01:00,840
The solute is the soluble portions of the tea along with the sugar.

16
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,100
And gases can even be dissolved.

17
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:11,159
In this example as the water moves over the rocks the solvent is the water and the solute

18
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:15,500
is the oxygen that is dissolved into the water.

19
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:23,400
So there we go the difference between solute and solvent and what a solution is.

20
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,640
