Question

What is the substance that is dissolved in a solution?

Answer 1

`"Sugar, salt, chocolate powder?"`

Explanation:

A `"solution"` consists of a dissolving medium, the `"solvent"`, and the dissolved species, the `"solute"`. Solutions can be gaseous (for instance the air we breathe), liquid (i.e. usually a solid solute dissolved in a solvent such as water or ethanol), and solid (for instance metal alloys).
