The substance that is dissolved to form a solution

Real World Example

Imagine trying to fit all your clothes into a single suitcase before a trip. This problem is similar to how a solute is incorporated into a solution. Just as you carefully arrange and compress your clothes to make them fit into the suitcase, a solute is broken down and dispersed within a solvent to form a uniform solution. In this analogy, the clothes represent the solute, the suitcase is like the solvent, and the packed suitcase is the complete solution.
