A solute is the chemical which was placed into the solvent and then dissolved. So for example in sea water: sodium chloride is the solute, water is the solvent. Finally filtrate is the solid suspended particles in the solution.

a solute is something that dissolves in a solvent. The best example of a solute is a solid, and an example of a solvent is water which is the universal solvent. To help you understand the concept let me give you an example. When you make coffe the coffe (solid) and the sugar (solid) are the solute and the water you use to make it is the solvent. Hope that this example helps you.

the solute is the stuff that dissolves in a solvent to form a solution.
As an example
The solute, sodium chloride (common salt) dissolves in water, the solvent, to form brine. Brine is the solution.
