Solute is the substance dissolved in other solutions. Solutes can be a solid, gas, or a liquid. For example if you dissolve salt in water salt is the solute because you need more water to make salt water and you need less salt to make it. Another example is when you dissolve sugar into hot tea. The sugar is the solute and the tea is the solvent.
Solvent is the substances trigger to the solution. It is the key item for solutions. Solvent can be a liquid or sometimes a gas or a solid. For example if you dissolve salt in to water water is the solvent because water is mostly doing all the dissolving causing a solution of salt water.
