What are common solutes in chemistry?

Posted May 29, 2024


Answer

Common inorganic solutes include ammonia (NH3) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), which dissolve in various solvents depending on their chemical properties. Dyes such as azo dyes are also frequently used in chemistry for adding color. Sugar is another commonly used solute, as it dissolves readily in water.
