🔍 Key Concepts

• Solute vs. solvent definitions in basic chemistry • What substance is being removed in a reverse-osmosis freshwater generator • Which part (water or salt) is the major component and which is the minor component

💭 Think About

• In seawater going into a reverse-osmosis unit, which material is present in larger amount, and which is dissolved in it? • When the unit produces freshwater, what substance has been mostly removed, and what substance remains as the main liquid? • Think about a glass of salty water: if you add table salt to water, which is the solute and which is the solvent?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition: solute = substance being dissolved, solvent = substance doing the dissolving • Apply those definitions to a simple example: table salt in a glass of water • Match that understanding to the situation of salt dissolved in water before it enters the freshwater generator
