Science:
A solute is the small part of a solution. A solvent is the large part of a solution. A solute dissolves into a solvent to form a solution. When you dissolve sugar into a cup of hot coffee, the sugar is the solute and the coffee is the solvent, since it does the dissolving.

Water is the ultimate solvent. It can dissolve, dilute and absorb all types
of solutes.
Salt (solute) + water (solvent) = brine (salty liquid
solution used for preserving/pickling)
Air freshener (solute) chemical fragrance + air (solvent)
= gas
Melted copper + melted zinc = when cooled form brass
(solid alloy) heat is the solvent
Contaminants (solutes) that enter our bodies of water
(solvent) cause pollution, for example, household sewage (solute) enters Lake
Ontario (solvent) or industrial waste (solute) is dumped into Lake Ontario
(solvent).
In a mixture the parts may be unevenly distributed
(heterogeneous) whereas in a solution the solvent has dissolved the solute
making everything look uniform (homogeneous).
Although, some solutes dissolve better and faster in certain types of
solvents. i.e. sugar dissolves in water
but not in oil.
In a soft drink, the solvent is water; the solutes
include sugars, flavour, carbon dioxide gas for bubbles.
In cow’s milk, the solvent is water; the solutes include
proteins, vitamins, fats and sugars.
In air, the solvent is oxygen + nitrogen; the solutes
include contaminants (car emissions, factory emissions)

Reading Response: Little Prince chps 5-8
- What do you think the baobabs represent?
- Why do you think we are asked not to neglect them and let them become out of control?
- What point was Prince trying to desperately make Pilot understand about the importance of and admiration for his flower?
- How did the Rose's vanity, her need for constant attention and perfectionism end up putting a strain on the Prince's relationship with her? What can a simple misunderstanding cause?
