Jan 25, 2017 at 21:46 comment added MaxW In general the species with the most molecules is the solvent and the species with the fewer molecules is the solute. However solvent can also mean whatever is the liquid and solute something that is a gas (e.g. oxygen in water) or solid (a solid salt that dissolves in water). So truthfully it is hard to come up with absolute definitions. You have to look at the context in which the words are being used.
Jan 25, 2017 at 21:35 comment added EJoshuaS - Stand with Ukraine Thanks, that makes a lot of sense, so the thing that makes that possible is the fact that there are strictly more water molecules than urea molecules (i.e. the total number of molecules in each case is more relevant than the total weight)?
