It depends on what you are trying to do. The solvent (can be liguid, solid or gas) is whatever dissolves another substance, the solute. If I have a heated vat of lard (melted) and want to dissolve it in some salt, then salt is the solute and the fat is the solvent. If I then pour in some vegetable fat that would be a second solute. So I would have a mixture of lard (animal fat- solvent), salt (a solute) and vegetable fat (a solute). It all depends on how the fat is being used at the time. If you are dissolving something into it; it is a solvent. If it is being dissolved into something; it is a solute.

I don't think it is but again i am only 14 so any help would be great thanks :-) You are correct- butter is made from milk fat. Fats are not soluble in water.
Is the freezing point of mercury or butter closer to the freezing point of water?
Mercury because butter does not freeze. Butter does not have a freezing point. Butter is a fat that solidifies gradually as it gets colder and does not go through a phase change (freezing) abruptly like mercury or water.Although butter will become as solid as it gets at a temperature closer to that of the freezing point of water than the freezing point of mercury.
