What are the similarities between solute and solvent?

One similarity is that in general. solute and solvent are pure substances. Solutes and solvents can also be different states of matter such as solid, liquid, or gas, providing versatility in solution formation across different phases. Another similarity is that solutions require both solute and solvent for formation. The solute dissolves in the solvent, creating a homogeneous mixture. Both solute and solvent influence solution traits such as density, boiling and freezing points. Additionally, changes in pressure and temperature influence the properties of solutes and solvents. Solutes and solvents can be separated from each other through processes like evaporation, filtration, or distillation. Lastly, the quantities of solute and solvent can each be measured accurately.
