Solvent is what the solute is dissolved in.

We usually think of the solvent as being a liquid like water, alcohol or petrol / gasoline. However, the solvent could be a gas or even a solid eg mineral deposits can dissolve through rock under pressure and time.

Solute is what dissolves.

Sugar dissolving in water would be the solute, sugar dissolving in the solvent, water.

Solution is the resultant solute/solvent mix.

When making a one litre (1 dm3) solution, the solute is dissolved in a small amount of solvent and then solvent is added to make the solution up to 1 litre.

Solubles is not a term used so much in solution chemistry. There are, however, Solubility Tables that tell the chemist which salts are soluble in water and which are not. Soluble salts dissolve more than 10 g / 100 mL; moderately soluble salts dissolve less than 10 g/100 mL and insoluble salts dissolve less than 1 g/ 100 mL at room temperature.

This question has no meaning as written. The definition of a solute is a substance that is soluble, dissolved, in a solvent. The validity of an answer depends on what the solvent, or dissolving medium, is.

However, not everything is soluble in water, There are many kinds of solvents with different properties that will dissolve different things. A solution also doesn't have to be a liquid, metal alloys like Bronze or Pewter are solutions, mixtures of solutes in the solvent of the base metal.

There are more than 3 solids that dissolve in water, there are thousands if not millions. water is the most effective solvent (in terms of the number of compounds it can dissolve) and a few examples are as follows; sodium chloride, manganese sulphate, ammonia (forms ammonium hydroxide), copper sulphate/sulfate, zinc iodide, sodium hydroxide, ethanol, glucose, carbon dioxide. the list is almost infinite.

The three common solutes are sugar, salt ,and flour. As you can see these are stuff we use in the kitchen. The common solvent for these three solutes are water since one of them salt can dissolve in water. I hope this was a descriptive answer

Solvent and Solute make a Solution (Solvent + Solute = Solution). The Solvent dissolves the Solute substance. Examples:

Solvent- Water

Solute - Sugar

Solution - Sugar water

Solvent - Milk (hot)

Solute - Cocoa powder

Solution - Hot Cocoa

Solvent - Water

Solute - Kool-Aid powder

Solution - Kool-Aid
