noun , plural: solutes. (chemistry) 1. a component of a solution: in a solution, the dissolving substance is called a solvent whereas the dissolved substance is called a solute. 2. a substance (usually in lesser] amount) dissolved in another substance. A typical example of a solution is sugar dissolved in water: sugar is the solute and water is the solvent.
Thus water is known as the universal solvent. The definition of solute concentration is the amount of solutes or particles that are dissolved in a solution. And remember that our definition of an unsaturated solution says that there are fewer particles or solutes than solvent in the solution.
