The definition of solute concentration is the amount of solutes/particles that are dissolved in a solution. Other terms must be defined also in order for you to understand the lesson. First, let's define solvent. A solvent is the solution, or liquid, part of the solute concentration. Together, the solute and the solvent become the solution. Next, let's define solubility. This is defined as the ability of a solute to be dissolved in a solvent.
